It was a small group tonight (myself, Eleanor and Tom) as we returned to The Ouseburn Trust. That didn't stop us as we completed a really enjoyable Community Mission.

Tasks completed this evening included Litter picking and cutting back hedges/brambles.

It turned into a mixture of a Community Mission and a interesting local History lesson (thanks to the task owners from The Ouseburn Trust). We headed to what looked like a local park but actually turned out to be a former burial ground (used in the 1800's when Cholera was around)

We picked up plenty of litter as you can see in the photos (I also picked up what I thought was a bit of foam and it turned out to be a mushroom)
