A late change to the task saw us trek along to Kingston Rec to give it a post summer holiday spruce up!

We were joined my the newest mini GG crew member who supervised with an iron fist and spit bubble from her royal carriage.

Dave managed to win the pick with a fancy coloured pair of pants and a pair of shoes! Wilson wondered if the wrapped sweet they found would still taste good. Katie popped by to drop off some old (how old is up to you) books for a fancy dress party Wilson is going to. And after some "jokes" she grabbed a picker and got stuck into the bushes which heralded a plethora of 'goodies'.

Whilst speaking of the 80s we learnt of Richard outing as Adam Ant, leading Aoife to research just who that is when she got home.

We have made a start on taking the Somersfest posters down around Central Portsmouth.

PCC provides reusable cable ties, so we have been collecting these back in to reduce plastic waste.

We had volunteers coming out of our ears at Junior parkrun this morning - both the regular EJPers and the GoodGym contingent.

Lots of roles were covered, from set-up to parkwalking, marshalling to barcode scanning.

Well done team!

We helped with litter picking for Baffins pond association this morning. Val, Nia and Aoife interrupted a squirrel gathering in the woods and Abby almost had my hat stolen by grandad squirrel.

We circled the woods and picked up lots of sweet wrappers, cigarette butts and pieces of glass. Found some interesting fungi and Judy managed to find 3 tokens from last years Easter egg hunt a year after we hid them!

Finished off with making friends with a lovely Italian greyhound called Wilfred 🐾. Also managed to see a massive swan sitting on his nest! Maybe keeping his eggs warm? Looking forward to seeing some cygnets in the future!
