James and I arrived promptly and introduced and ourselves to the missions recipient. She appeared a little confused and had expected her daughter to be there. A little phone chat with the daughter confirmed she wasn’t due to be there and the daughter advised us what furniture was to be moved where. We reassured the recipient that everything would fit as that seemed to be her main concern. The chairs were moved out and the bed down relatively easily. We congratulated ourselves on not hitting any of the low chandeliers and lots of knickknacks. Her carer turned up as we were about to leave and made the bed up which looked very cozy.
NB. We forgot to take photos so this is a google pic 😁
