GG Sheffield ended our gg community mission trebble this Saturday with a canny collection of litter picked from Heeley Peoples Park.

Although there were some unsavoury finds, we didn't BOTTLE it, but instead goodgymers proved it CAN be done, and incorporated a plastic, glass and metal recycling team into our litter collection :)

Photos were kindly taken by Taller than Tall Tom, Giant James.

To celebrate our GG efforts and carb load for the Sheffield half mara, we ended with a post plog pasta party back at Kat and Ash's, with freshly foraged Graves Park homemade wild garlic bread and yummy carrot cake made by Culinary Kylee.

Get well soon Andrew, yours and Diana's lasagnes were very tasty :)
