Well, the title isn't quite true - we had plenty of purple sacks, and we helped the Havant Community Litter Pickers to fill 20 of them with rubbish collected from the field, the woods and the skate park (well done to Katie and Louisa for searching under the skate ramps for litter!).

John and Wilson made an unpleasant discovery of filled dog poo bags, scattered on the field, but they were collected up and disposed of more thoughtfully.

Val was helped by her grandson, Cameron, who also did an excellent job of being our Group photographer.

After the litter pick, we were invited into neighbouring St Alban's Church for a rewarding drink and cake, including Vicki's delicious flapjack.

A pleasant, chatty morning's work.
