It's rained every day this month, and today was no exception 🌧- it was tipping down at noon as thirteen dedicated volunteers, including our litter picking champion, Ashton, met for the monthly tidy up run by Friends of Lesnes Abbey and Woods in the wonderful grounds and woodland around the abbey ruins.

As the photo shows, they found plenty of rubbish, although by the time the picture was taken most of the crew had headed to Chestnuts café for a warming drink.

What absolute stalwarts braving the horrid weather 🌟. Let's hope it's drier when we join them again in March.

If you're wondering about going along, please do! It's a welcoming and friendly group, and all equipment is provided if you don't have your own.
