Plan B was put into action tonight as unfortunately we weren't able switch around next week's task when the staff at Shearwater became unavailable for our visit. That will now take place in September.

Never people to let a set back get to us, we reconvened at Kingston Rec, did a 1k lap of that park and then got picking.

I got sweeping on the broken glass which I've been cycling through for a few days. A local resident, Tash (who also happens to be Canadian) brought out a large broom and helped to sweep the glass into collectable piles. We hope to sign her up to GoodGym soon. Having Angela along did help as they could swap Canadian stories and memories of strange foods!!

There was plenty of rubbish and recycling to keep us busy, in fact we could have spent another hour there clearing up but enthusiasm was starting to wane!!

Big thanks to Aoife and Wilson for taking home a full black bag of rubbish each and to Vicki for taking 2 bags of recycling back for the green bin.

Kudos too to India for finding money to go into the GG pot and to Harry for sharing a new technique for removing bottle lids!

Excellent work all round, as always.

Please enjoy the pics from Wilson too!
