Wowzers tonight was a scorcher. I think we were all feeling the heat tonight, and that was even before we started! Thankfully we had a short "hop, skip and a jump" to our favourite litter ridden Bede Park. I think even if the council doubled the amount of bins there it would still be the same amount of rubbish left behind by the many users of this popular park. Someone thanked us again which was nice. We were so busy litter picking, and because we hadn't taken long to get there, we extended our "task" by an extra 15 minutes as no one wanted to leave any litter behind. I must admit I lost count of how many bags we filled. It must have been at least 10! Lets hope the council don't mind picking them all up! hehe. Well done everyone, you're the best!! The fantastic outdoor gym equipment was put to good use again. But i'm afraid my idea of running round the park fell on deaf ears. And who can blame you, it was 29 degrees! Have a good time next week. I'll be in The Lake District in the rain no doubt. See you in two weeks. Lindsay
