Tuesday night saw Nicky and I (experienced Mission colleagues) meeting pretty much at the centre of the Elephant & Castle junction and ascending halfway up one of the original tower blocks to rearrange Mr A’s flat.

Our patron was due to be discharged from the nearby St Thomas’ so his son was on hand to set us to task. The job was to create a microenvironment by clearing the front room to welcome a hospital bed; the small matter of dismantling the old bed and shifting some chairs and tables was dealt with in record time and we were in and out within a half hour. After posing for a photo at altitude, we were on our way home (or back to work for me).
