A glorious sunny, and very chilly Christmas Eve for a litter pick. It was the first outing for Judy's fantastic personalised 200 GG t-shirt, so fab. There was so much litter in such along the road, and on the banks. At least 8 face masks, the medical type, umpteen empty bottles of alcohol paper coffee cups, tins and the list goes on, all s'elf'ishly discarded! We were thanked by several people and even had a honk from a car horn in recognition of a 'good job you christmas elves'.. so fingers crossed Santa noticed and Judy and I are not on the naughty list (as if we could be). Usual banter and lots of giggles. Happy Christmas fellow GoodGymers, considering the lockdowns and restrictions we've had a fantastic year of doing good in the community. We've looked out for each other and kept each others spirits up, with Zoom quizzes and virtual catch ups and small gatherings when we were allowed. WE ARE ALL AMAZING πŸ’•Stay safe and well and fingers crossed we can all gather together by mid 2021 πŸŽ„πŸŽ…
