It might be a Christmas break for some but we thought Redcliffe deserved a little spruce up and rather than pine fir company, six of us (with Alice back-marking) ran around the harbour loop checking out potential litter-picking spots before finishing at the beautiful St Mary Redcliffe Church and the car park/Portwall litter trove.

Lots of the house boats were lit up and we saw a fair few Christmas trees in windows creating a great build-up to the carol-singing in the church whose surrounding were much smarter after the collection of three bags of litter.

It turns out I'm rubbish at taking photos on the run in the dark, but Debs is super-photogenic and saved the day!
