Portsmouth Report written by Abby (she/her)
Dave and I went to help out the lovely Mrs P trim her shrubs to keep them neat while she is unable to. It was pretty quick work as they were well maintained!
A couple ladder ascents and some long arms and we managed to get the top looking lovely and neat. And as a bonus we got to take in the lovely jasmine scent in the late afternoon sunshine. Mrs P was very happy!

A tidy garden contributes to Mrs P’s sense of pride in her home and surroundings and knowing the hedge will be managed relieves anxiety about tasks she can no longer do herself.

Portsmouth Report written by Jen Stoneham
After volunteering at Eastney Junior parkrun, Andy, Dave and I walked down the never-ending Ferry Road to meet up with the rest of the crew. One Triathlon spectator was very kindly waving a "Go Team Jen!" banner, which gave me the oomph I needed to get to the end of the road!
Abby (and Unofficial GGer Drew), Katie and Sanat then met us as we headed out onto the water to paddle kayaks 2 miles through Langstone Harbour back to the Watersports Centre.
We weren't expecting to see any seals (a highlight of all kayaking trips!) due to tide times, but we were lucky enough to see two groups. The first lot were about half way along our journey, so there was time for a pit-stop to watch them dipping in and out of the water and having a good old sunbathe.
Once back, we helped the Believe and Achieve team to wash down all the gear, rock the kayaks and organise seats and life-jackets for storage.
We then enjoyed a warm but pleasant walk back down the Coastal Path, where we think we may have spotted our seal friends from land.
This was one of my favourite GG tasks ever, i hope you all had as much fun as I did!
