I joined the Havant Tree Wardens at Tournerbury Farm, Hayling Island, where they had agreement from the landowner to plant native tree species bordering a footpath.

Sadly Package Free Larder have had to close their doors today.
But that did mean all hands on deck to get the racking, food and bits & bobs packed up to go to some new homes.
We were given the task of clearing the basement storage which was done in exceptional timing that our hosts had to keep finding new jobs for us. Team GG are nothing if not speed demons!!
Once all the items were loaded into the vehicles we bid a sad farewell to the Larder. But nit without promising to be first on hand if they're able to reopen elsewhere in the future. Until we meet again Package Free.

Our leafleting task turned out to be a letter delivery task, asking local residents to nominate inspiring individuals for Stephen Morgan's annual award ceremony.
Portsmouth GoodGym have previously won an award through the programme and we proved we were worthy winners by smashing out a whole lot of leaflets in our hour long session this evening.
It turns out that leafleting is much more fun with friends, and the time and streets flew by. We also discovered Val's walking origami skills, and that Judy could probably represent Team GB in the Leafleting Olympics. She has missed her calling as a postie!

Smashed out 26 parcels for 34 adults, 20 children and at least 101 dalmatians (felt like it anyway) The cake cafe ran out, busy busy busy, but with 5 GGers plus Rob, all went well

Always an excellent 'before and after' opportunity here, as this area is unfortunately always blighted by rubbish. Including lots of litter to do with the billboards! Plenty of creepy crawlies and a we also retrieved a whole bag of rubbish dumped in a bramble bush, including some potatoes and nappies, lovely. 5 bags of rubbish between two and a half of us, not bad for a Sunday morning!
