Two GoodGymers with a crazy determination on the coldest day of the year so far - tick

We had all the ingredients required for removing litter from the corner of the Lido lake, in the spot where the swans like to build their nest each Spring.

It has been so sad in previous years to see them sitting on their eggs in a nest of litter. So we tackled it before nesting season begins. The purple bucket was emptied 3 times and we made a small difference to an ugly problem.
