On Tuesday we went to the cycle path in Linwood where I would be leading the group. We were doing a litter pick along the route of the cycle path. I think Eddy found the most interesting object of the day which was a TV which was in two parts. At tea break Jim decided to help out and me thinking this was a good idea accepted his offer. 
I soon began to regret this as Jim and I began to make the tea and coffee. I think it must have taken us a good half hour just to get everyone a cup of something warm. After the tea break we headed up in the cycle path in the opposite direction which is when our brand new wheel barrow decided the it was about time to start squeaking meaning that would be another task to put onto my ever expanding to do list by the end of the day we had collected a good 8 bags of rubbish included a scooter, half a chair and the afore mentioned TV.
On Wednesday we took the group out to Bluebell Woods in Johnstone. We were once again doing a litter pick. 
The guys got straight down to work and it wasn’t long before we were uncovering some unusual objects such as an identical scooter to the one we found the day before. We also found a bike that had clearly been there for years we also found a discarded school bag but I think the most interesting object found was a camera lense found by Julie. We ended up with around 12 bags of litter which was a great effort so well done to everyone who was there!
On Thursday it was our monthly all day event up at Muirshiel. This time when we were there I was determined not to get stuck in the mud which I am glad to say I managed to avoid, meaning Eddy didn’t have to save me. We got up to Muirshiel to find that it was an absolutely stunning day which was a little surprising considering all the fog in and around the Paisley area. It was crystal clear up there which made for some spectacular views. 
We soon got down to work and Jim and Ian started trying to get the fire going little did they know that it was going to be an all day battle trying to get the fires going. By lunch time we had made great progress and I could almost see daylight through the other side of the Rhoddy I was working on with Neil and Simons help. Eddie and Peta were working on the opposite side in tandem with us and we were getting every closer to meeting in the middle. After the lunch break I finally broke through the barrier to discover a pathway had been carved out round to the back of the area Eddy and Peta were working on so I quickly walked round and started working towards them from the back. At the same time Ian and Julie with the help of Rod, Jean and Ann had started another fire so that we could finally get rid of some of the ever increasing Rhoddy piles. At the end of the day there were massive piles of Rhoddys everywhere and we had accomplished a massive amount of work. So well done everyone who was there!
Thanks again to all our volunteers.
