A pitter on the Rec to pick up a little litter

After the extreme heat canned our Group Run this week, I had even more ambition to get out there and burn off those birthday calories 😳 The Friends of Cator Park and Alexandra Rec are hosting their annual Music in the Park event today, and wanted some help in the morning to make sure the grass was clean ready for families to come and sit and enjoy the show. Just the ticket!

I ran 5k from home to the Ground, met Lou and got to work with a litter picker and a bin bag grabbing various small rubbish. Once the green was clear, Lou asked for some help with usual Friends tasks, so we grabbed a hose pipe from the cabin and filled up some buckets to feed the Friends' saplings - much carrying as the hosepipe isn't long! Those poor little trees must have been thirsty after the lack of rain.

It went by so quickly that I forgot to take a photo 😬 Here's a stock one of the entrance to the Ground!

We'll be at Cator Park on Tuesday for our Group Run, and we can hear about how Music in the Park went 🙂
