Thank you Lucy for showing us a much more scenic route from the Lido to the task this evening. It was a twitcher's paradise, two sets of swans with their cygnets, ducks with their ducklings and even a majestic egret! Far more interesting than the concrete monstrosity road bridge I'd have taken us over.

When we arrived, Judy and Katie were already on the platform and had found very, very little to do with the planters. Neither the GoodGym planter, or the one planted by the Men's Shed had anything in the way of weeds, or even litter.

Clearing the litter on the platform didn't take long at all, so things should be looking glorious for the judging session on Friday. We extended our pick on to the playing field behind the station, where Andy made friends with an excitable dog, and Jen rode a reclaimed bike found in the trees.
