My hair wasn't tied up as it isn't long enough. But it appears everyone else was going hair down with the amount of hair bands I had to pick up!

A multitude of sweet wrappers and drinks cans saw me complete a loop of the Rec for another Portsmouth 100 litter pick.

We welcomed back Amie for her second task this week - glad we didn't scare you off last time! Amie was one of Team Red this evening, alongside Katie and Sinéad. Myself, Dave and Andy then turned up in quick succession with our Goth GGs (black tees), making it 3 - 3. Sammy arrived at the last minute in her black top, so Team Goth were the winners!

Joined by Mini-GGer, Alice, we ran to Kingston Rec where we met Nick and got started on our litter pick. Our first unusual find was a small wheel, spotted by Andy. As we made our way around the park, we also picked up a set of handle bars and a scooter board. Our photos look quite little like an assembly guide for a mismatched scooter! We also found an onion in the woods, followed by some egg shells, chillis and a bulb of garlic under a bush. I wonder if some of the local foxes were making some bougie omelets!

We completely filled two enormous Colas bags, impressive work in just under an hour! Nice work, everyone.

And so ends another year of the Great British Spring Clean.

In total, 19 bags of rubbish have been picked by team GG in 17 days.

Quite possibly it would've been more before we managed to get the big sacks from the council.

Super effort by all and thanks to mini Gg-er Jack for his super litter spotting this morning.

The mizzle, the breeze and the fading light didn't put us off our quest to clear the beach - we love a challenge!

We are pleased to report that the beach is quite clean at the moment and that Colas had put out a big extra bin on the promenade by the coffee trailer.

A lovely way to end the week!

We were joined by two gorgeous min-GGers for this pick who supervised our work.

The area was quickly cleaned, apart from one frustrating plastic bag that was just out of reach, despite Laura's valliant stretch!

Wow! What a picture Victoria Park was this morning. The blossom was out in all shades of pastel, the tulips and daffs were front and centre. The sun was out which helped us manage the very cold wind sweeping across the Park. We split into two groups with a large flower bed each group. We were tasked with edging the bed, clearing leaves, weeding and generally tidying up. We warmed up quickly and were soon sitting in our favourite sun trap having a hot drink before going home.
