We had a really lovely evening on Wednesday helping the Ouseburn Trust.

This is always a great task and one of our favourites, as Dave the task owner is so organised and enthusiastic!

I was joined by Lucy, Amy and Anthony. I cycled down to the Cycle hub, where myself, Lucy and Anthony then walked and we were met a bit later by Amy. It was great to leisurely walk along and chat/catch up.

We collected the equipment and then got stuck in straight away with clearing weeds and making an area (that I’d actually never seen before) much more tidier.

I found a tool that I absolutely loved (I can’t remember the name of it) but basically I was scraping away at the weeds which was so satisfying to do.

We definitely made a big difference. As always we got a bit carried away as it was such an enjoyable task, and I’m sure we could have stayed longer.

This was all in preparation for the Ouseburn festival taking place this weekend which definitely sounds like it is a worth a visit.
