It was another cold and sunny morning that we joined forces to run and volunteer at Charlton parkrun. Well done to everyone who ran and particularly to Linda for her excellent Directing!

After a much needed coffee we headed off in groups with our pickers and bags to scour the park for rubbish, joined by the lovely Jill all the way from the Isle of Dogs. It’s always a challenge when it’s windy and extra good deeding points go to Linda who had to repick all her rubbish when it blew out of the bag!

Lots of chatting and picking later (and learning too - Matt told me and Jill about the Greenwich Comedy Club unbeknown to us), we enjoyed some chocolates courtesy of the Old Cottage Coffee shop. By the way, did you know recently an Ancient Egyptian mummy was found last year buried with some chocolate? Apparently he was known as Pharoah Rocher.

Next week, there's a planting day with the Friends of Charlton Park which some of you are signed up to - wood you believe it looks like lots of fun!

Until next time!
