The instructions for this mission..... Get there early if you don't want to wait around. Take a trolley, bike or even plane (it will be heavy). I took my rucksack and a tote bag.

As I didn't have anything else planned for the day I got to the food bank about ten to eleven to put my name down. I was too late. The list was taken in for preparation so now it's just a queuing system.

Ok so I'll just go pick up the voucher needed to collect the goods. This was only a ten minute walk away.

On collecting the voucher I was offered another really big bag which I took.... Just incase.

I heading back to the food bank where I was now number twenty nine.

Sounds long but it seems a lot of people who had put there name down had not returned so the list was going quickly.

It wasn't too long before twenty nine was called and it was time to pack the goods in a way I could manage without Uber (those who know😉).

Time for another ten minute walk but with weight. Made it! Mrs E was very grateful.
