There were so many of us this evening, we had to take turns doing good! In-between, we were shown around the facilities of the Adventure Playground by the kids. Lots of fun was had on the zip-line, tire swing, slide and cargo net.

We got stuck in with digging initially, then we got to crack out the big guns. A sledgehammer and a crow-bar came in very handy, and we got to witness Liz go wild with an axel grinder!

By the end of the session, we had destroyed the boat carcass, moved the remains to a bonfire pile ready for a viking burial, then even dug up some breeze blocks buried deep under the ground.

What a lovely way to start the day - helping the great Fawcett Road Greening Group with weeding, planting of bulbs and shrubs and adding mulch to planters and pots in Southsea.

It was cold but the hot chocolate and mince pies afterwards consumed next to a roaring fire soon warmed us up!
