After cleaning a pretty immaculate flat on our last visit, we found out we'd cleaned the wrong one! Our task this evening was to climb up even more secret stairs to a second apartment, and give it a jolly good clean.

David took on the role of bin-bag shifter, completing multiple trips up and down the staircases with bags that Sinéad, Andy and Harry had filled.

Katie and Sammy tackled one of the bedrooms that had clearly had an uninvited, four-legged visitor. Henry the Hoover was put to the rest this evening!

Beds were stripped, windows cleaned, cupboards scrubbed and floors washed. It was amazing how much was achieved in such a small amount of time - amazing work from everyone!

Katie, Jen, Dave and Andy gave the benches and a hefty cable drum a fresh lick of paint.

Samantha donned her Ghostbusters kit and Jane her bucket and broom and together they disinfected four runs. Then, armed with secateurs and gloves cut down the prickly brambles that were trying to take over.

Dave even found time to fix an extension lead.

We were then rewarded with some playtime with two of most adorable residents!

A post parkrun pick, with treasures aplenty including a net "we'll never get that in the bag" (we did!), some glasses and the obligatory piece of clothing (a glove this time).

The promise of a post pick "pick me up" at Costa meant that we filled one massive Colas bag nice and fast on our diagonal route from Hilsea Cricket Club up to Burrfields Rd.

Good work team!
