A beautiful day and a lovely group for our litter pick on Sunday! Thank you so much, as always, to everyone who came along 💚

And an additional thanks to the very strong passerby who helped haul a Beryl scooter out of the river and back onto the Marriott's Way - no mean feat! It was picked up (and scooted off!) just minutes later 😮 🛴
