Lovely morning for a litter pick, pre downpour. I bumped into the rubbish men en-route round the park, who offered me a job! Thankfully they took the full bag of rubbish I'd collected, replacing it with a new one which I half filled on the return to base.
Elsewhere others had also bin getting in on the task!

What a load of rubbish!

After a late night--mid morning a few goodgymers were still able to get out battling the elements to give their local area a bit of a tidy up. A worthwhile womble around, minus the windmill!!
Raynes Park's rubbish, good riddance!

I completed the task before it got dark using own litter picker and bag opener - took this along to do local shopping and plogged en route. Sainsbury's Local Manager happy for me to leave bag and equipment tucked away safely in store while I did my shopping - double mission accomplished!
Edit: Rachel got out and about and Emily grabbed a couple of bags of litter as well. We all benefitted from the fresh air and DIY task at this time of year.
