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...

This task was part destroy and part save and part fill a skip...

We met Martin and got on with shifting rubble into a skip, chopping brambles and saving a frog.

It is official...darkness is upon us so we worked under torchlight and some car headlights. And when we look aback at our first Nayland Lodge visit it is clear the impact that has been made...even if the undergrowth keeps growing back!

We walked, cycled and ran back to our bases and wished Vanessa good luck for her Royal Parks Half Marathon coming up.

A warm evening and a warm welcome at Nayland Lodge as we continued the clear up job of hacking away the brambles and shifting rubble into a skip!

With some helpful residents we managed to make a good dent despite the hard ground. It was good to chat about favourite films from Black Panther to Sausage party!

With the residents lured away by homemade burgers we too went on our way in the fading light ready for the Anti Loo Roll Brigade festival on Saturday!
