It was the usual double pronged attack on Lewisham this weekend. Adi enjoyed some glorious sun and colours whilst doing good in Mayow Park in Sydenham.

Paul was a day earlier and had Friday’s drizzle and leaden skies in Deptford’s Brookmill Park. About a bag for life’s worth of litter was collected along the river with an alpaca, which was placed by the playground for rehoming.

Lewisham’s litter picking duo, Adi and Paul, were in action again this weekend. Adi not finding too much Halloween and related rubbish in Sydenham’s Mayow Park but did find it looking attractive in its autumnal best.

Paul found lots of muddy rubbish brought down with recent high waters on the Ravensbourne in Deptford. A paddling of mallards was also seen.

There was a two pronged attack on Lewisham litter - Adi in the autumn colours of Mayow Psrk in Sydenham, Paul in Deptford.

Paul had expected a lot more litter this week along the Ravensbourne in Brookmill Park as there had been heavy rain a couple of times and the banks will have overflown. Oddly the high flows had been and gone but hadn’t left much rubbish behind. There were the usual beer cans and takeaway wrappers plus a sodden cushion which was dragged up to a bin. There was a lot of wildlife too - the pair of herons, a couple of Egyptian geese, lots of mallards, some talkative crows. Plus the return of two young foxes, that he hadn’t seen for a month or two one of which tried to follow him to his next mission.

Paul picked litter alongside the Ravensbourne in Deptford, Adi in Sydenham’s Mayow Park - both made a difference .
