Hip hip hip hurray. What a wonderfully sunny session we had this morning. We were raking up after the regular gardener had been through cutting things back, and clearing the way for Spring growth. We were in the Woodland path area which was lit up by the sunshine. The crocuses and daffodils and other narcissus were out on show throughout the park with lots if people walking through and sitting awhile in the sunshine. We enjoyed refreshments from the Cafe, sitting outside and prolonging our time basking and relaxing in the warmth before going on our way.

We did this litter pick in two parts, first we cleared the litter that had been exposed by the bramble-cutting where Wilson found a tennis ball with their name on it and Samantha found Steve hiding in a box!

After a brief pit stop we cleared lots of litter from the hedges on the way to the kennels. We filled a big bag but had to leave lots behind for a future visit.

Laura and I clocked off and dashed out to clean up this pocket park. As it's so small, a regular half hour clean up is all that's needed to keep it looking nice.

We didn't find any clothes, but did pick up a clothes hanger and wondered how that ended up there.

It was a great core workout in Victoria Park today with two tractor trailers full of bark and wood chippings to dispense and rake into the beds. It took us the full session to complete and was very satisfying to see the beds looking so healthy. We had a cloudy start, but ended the session with some lovely waming sunshine - so energising. We were able to sit outside watching the wildlife, and having a cuppa before going on our way.

Not too bad was the conclusion for today.

Although the newly munched beds could've been hiding a few treats!!

Clothing of course was discovered. And a full can of energy drink (we decided not to have a boost though!)

The sun had come out to illuminate all the rubbish strewn across the rec this morning.

Dave and JB had a good catch up whilst doing a picking loop of the park. Even being called legends by a passer by.

No amazing finds sadly apart from a pair of discarded goalie gloves. I guess they had conceded too many!!
