We enjoyed a post-work workout at a local listed building (Mount Pleasant Mansion) to remove fly tipping and rubbish.

The vegetation had recently been cleared so delights that had been hidden were revealed.

We emptied out plastic bags full of soil and carried other bags of rubbish to the public bin to be picked up.

We then uncovered old litter that had been forgotten and after an hour we'd made a real difference and the place was so much better. Thanks gang!

Someone had misplaced their 12 inch knife that had been hidden in a bush that was no longer there so good to remove that from alongside a seemingly popular 'cut through'.

Other delights included a mystery full can of food (which I'll have for my tea) and a mug that Rachel is going to find a new home for. And we nearly filled my brown bin so a result all round!

Think we'll put in some extra picks to keep on top of it and perhaps it'll turn into a green space that is more (mount) pleasant to visit.
