There was a break in the weather for the GoodGymmers who met up in the darkening warmth of Queen Square, armed with gloves, headtorches and issued with litter pickers and bags.
Off we set, the running group led by Vaguely Northern Darren in one direction and the walkers in another, with a plan to arrive at Redcliffe Nursery School and Children's Centre at the same time - which worked surprisingly well!
Three jobs to manage:
Clear the litter from the car park that's used by local residents and was already full of cars, so some interesting stretches (possibly yoga at a push!) and a top find of an actual (probably actual fake) Dior bag (OK, little paper gift bag)
Into the outdoor play area to shift sand into the sand pit - we couldn't find the sand that wasn't already in the sand pit, so claim full credit for this although it was already shifted.
Sweep and bag the leaves from everywhere they'd collected - this was the main event and, of course, involved climbing ONTO the equipment to check for and sweep leaves, especially by Frances whilst Roddy and Jason targeted the High Leaf Fall area of the side slide. Richard, Darren and Caroline struck paleontology gold with dinosaurs in the sand/leaf mixture.
Discussions of the evening led to punny versions of childhood songs from our resident Choir Leader Frances, especially "Dior Ears Hang Low" which is a pun we're saving for the next time we find Dior (-ish) items.
A great evening and we almost beat the rain!
