Today I had a great day volunteering, weeding a car park!
It was behind the town hall.
It took us (four people) about 1 hour to take away all the weeds, taking it steady,. The car park was full of litter and had a lot of nettles and thorns. It was quite a big car park too with a border of weeds around, I really enjoyed clearing it up.
It actually felt like a really good work out, where my whole body was exercised with pulling, bending, digging and stretching. Now when the people go there to park their car, it will look so clean and tidy also when pedestrians pass by they will notice the difference too.
This weekend I will be doing a litter picking with some others, around the woodland in the park area, so that should be good. I feel like I have lost a little bit of weight, also I feel a lot stronger for it. I am happy to help to make my village look clean and tidy.

Hi Jessica,
That sounds good. Volunteers can have a good physical workout and the local people get a lovely garden to sit in. Everybody is happy! 😊

Hi Gill and Jessica.
There used to be a local group who did a litter pick every weekend until they were told to stop by our town provost as the regional council did not like it. Made no sense as council workers did not do it either. Funnily enough we were given the go ahead recently to restart
Of course saves them money

Anyway, It was a change from my caring duties for an hour, plus I had fun chatting to volunteers and came back feeling a lot fitter!
