It was the night of the Elizabeth Foundation Halloween party, many children had come along in an excellent array of fancy dress.

We arrived (as requested) at 530 thinking we were setting up the party but instead we were asked to judge the fancy dress competition (how do you decide who's "best dressed"?) and help clear away and move tables and chairs back to their usual spots.

As we'd expected to be needed longer, we decided to do a quick litter pick around Palmerston Road (thanks to Ellie who had the GG Southampton litter pickers in her car). In keeping with the Halloween theme, we even found a ghostly looking bin bag and a plastic spider 🕷️ as well as a little ghost 👻 on the Debenhams hoarding.

Once completed, we met up with Abby and had an impromptu social. Note for the future: bang bang cauliflower noodles and beetroot & feta flatbread look like tasty menu choices if you're ever in a "Lounge" venue.

Thanks everyone for your task flexibility! And happy Halloween one week early! 🎃🧹🧙
