After what feels like forever, today it was time to get back involved in our old stomping ground of Wanstead.

The monthly litter pick has been re-instated, albeit with careful distancing and cleaning of equipment in place. Due to some minor miscommunication / someone misreading the start location, the team was a bit scattered over the area, with Linda at the meeting point and Dharmesh & Liz on the Green. It probably didn't help that i was running late myself! The two on the green got a little side-tracked by Marian and her team looking after a (relatively recently) newly started strip of guerilla gardening, while Linda & myself went all over Christ Church Green picking up all sorts of mainly small bits of litter - a tent peg served a dual purpose to dig out bottle caps.

The crew was reunited just in time for a group picture with the rest of the litter pickers. A stroll over to the local library for a Parkini (team) selfie and off we went. A stroll back to the Green meant we bumped into Marian again who said she'll be in touch with a couple of Saturday tasks that would need some GG muscle - looking forward to that already!
