6 GG Yorkies met at West Bank Park to continue clearing the contents of compost bins into a skip.

With wheelbarrows at the ready, we clad ourselves in high vis and set a goal of emptying one of the three banks of bins within the hour (leaving plenty left for Monday's community mission group!)

We made short work of the barrowing, covering about 2.5km each in distance back and forth across the park with wheelbarrows full of grass (to warm up) and then heavier compost.

Job done, some of us headed to a cafe to celebrate Amy's 300th good deed 🥳

Despite the change in the weather, 4 of us braved the wind and met Gordon at King's meadow to tackle some dock leaves. The lack of rain recently made digging hard going, but Michal assured us that even removing the leaves weakened the plant and stopped them spreading.

After 45 minutes we admitted defeat and headed home to our warm homes.

Despite no one really knowing where Aldbrough House was/is, we had a great turnout to help clear the communal garden. The team made light work of clearing the weeds and ivy and generally giving the garden a good tidy. There was also a seemingly never ending supply of car parts and tools buried in the garden, suggesting Aldbrough House has at some point been home to either a mechanic or a super string yet efficient Magpie.
