We had a lovely evening down on the Sherborne estate weeding a local alley and preparing it for some wildflower seeds.

Hazel, Phoenix, Maurice and Nicolaset to work pulling lots of thistles and stubborn weeds from the borders ready to plant some wildflowers. It was a bit of an arduous task because as there had been no rain, the ground was really hard which made getting the weeds out tougher!

Phoenix was in her element spotting multiple caterpillars and other insects that were putting in an appearance. It was nice to meet the real life Colin the caterpillar! :)

Will be back in a couple of weeks to get the rest of the weeds up and so the wildflower seeds.

It was a rewarding task and we could really see the difference we had made.

Well done everyone. You're all amazing.

Lots of love Nicola xxx

a lovely morning for a bit of parkrun volunteering! Nicola and Karen did the course check and course set up before Karen did the event briefing before the runners and walkers set off for their 5k around the park. Nicola did a fabulous job of number checker / funnel manager, making the result processing a doddle for Karen. While Karen and Nicola were packing everything away ready for next week's parkrun, Emily and Maurice were doing their favourite job of sorting the tokens back into order and replacing missing tokens, all ready to go again next week. 362 people took part - what a fabulous thing to be part of!

Maurice, Mark and Nicola spent a lovely evening out in the summer Sun doing what we do best - collecting litter!

Our night was spent around the King George’s playing field and main road area near the rising Sun. We were pleasantly surprised by how little litter there was, but we still managed to collect three decent bags full.

The best part about being out and doing these tasks is the lovely company. We had a good natter and put the world to rights as usual.

Awesome job the 3 Amigos!

Until next time!

It was the perfect weather for a summer litter pick!! Karen, Marjo, Mark, Maurice, Rachel and Nicola collected a whopping 12 bags of rubbish from the streets around the Tesco/Dunelm area.

It's always rewarding to get a good haul of rubbish but it would be nice if the streets didn't need it!

The hi-light of the evening was definitely the drinks and snacks afterwards in Hops Bar. It's always lovely to catch up with friends.

See you at the next one! Nicola xx
