Last night five fearless litter warriors dressed in Goodgym red and dashes of hi-visibility apparel, litter picked along Sheepen Road. Not for the first time we found mad amounts of litter. People have mistaken bushes for bins and grassy verges for recycling centres. Of course the people who throw litter may not know any better and perhaps it is fair to put some responsibility on the big brands whose names are 'proudly' printed on the discarded rubbish. Anyway, our lovely group chatted and litter picked and made the little green patches and alleyways cleaner.

What's coming up? Well Christmas fun with singing and wrapping...

An indoor task for a drizzly night? OK then...

Frazer's 12 Hill runs was the perfect warm up for a brisk walk and a work out whilst cleaning.

Our task tonight was to clean up the former home of Level Best Art Cafe, D'Arcy House. It was quite strange working around some old art work, a few remaining tables and chairs and the old coffee machine. We have some good memories in this building, from Valentine meals to wrapping Christmas presents so I can't imagine how much the clients of Level Best achieved here. And as you can almost see in the photos, they have moved on to an amazing new cafe and gallery. Well worth a visit for a great coffee, cake and jacket potato. (Not to mention the Xmas pickles)

Well done us!

All the litter So much litter We all go bin bag in hand Litter picker in hand through their parklife! (Think Blur)

Firstly, well done to Frazer for a 1.47hour Great North Run. Boom.

Secondly, thank you to the weather for being a bit more September-like!

The four of us completed a litter circuit through the Dutch Quarter and Castle Park finding socks, a slipper, vapes, a nappy, beer bottles, cider cans and food packets galore...most of it a short distance from a bin!!

Until next time - over and out from Good Colchester.
