An indoor task could not have come at a better time!

Sheltering from the persistent rain, this evening we packaged up 49 pairs of running shoes of various shapes and sizes to be sent off the JogOn for re-purposing and recycling.

That's 49 pairs of trainers that won't end up in landfill.

Powered by tea and snacks (is there any other way) a gaggle of us then headed out into the, semi-refreshing, drizzle of a trot and a chat.

Thank you all so much for coming to our Christmas celebration. What a warm and fuzzy evening it was.

Thank you so much for all your hard work this year, you are all glorious!

but if you have no leaflets, you can't do leafleting!

See you next week xx

'Tis the season to litter pick the streets of Oxford, so to Headington we headed for an evening of nattering and trash clearing.

We focused on the area surrounding the Oxford Brookes Headington campus, finding plenty of the usual suspects; cans, bottles, crisp packets etc. We were just chatting about how rarely we find pants these days, after a spate of unearthing them on almost every litter pick, when lo and behold Ben spotted a pair hooked on the railings. It's like we manifested them.

1 hour, several heavy bags full of trash, and a potential new recruit later, we deposited our haul for collection and headed off home to warm up.
