We all woke up ready to get painting fences for our planned Community Mission in the Dingle, but, as is happening here and there at he moment, instead we got the message from the lovely people at the project that one of their team had tested positive for Covid and they were all in isolation waiting further test results!

Feeling a little disappointed and really valuing the joy of doing something together Sal suggested that we meet with our trusted litter pickers and clean up Princes Avenue Boulevard instead! Fabulous idea!! We then went one step further (as we GoodGymers do) and had a duel session with Sal, Jo and myself on the Boulevard and Pauline taking care of a area local to her in Runcorn, assisted beautifully by her furry friend team!

We cleared 11 bags of rubbish from the Boulevard over 3 hours, including finds of teddies, car door handles, footballs, and a body buff amongst all the usual rubbish, and left the newly redesigned and very beautiful Boulevard back in a state to be proud of.
