Another busy day at Frenford and was lovely to welcome Katy there for the first time.

With nearly 70 parcels to pack we got off to a swift start, forming a super efficient 'conveyor belt' to pack the fresh food with Linda as chief bag labeller (top job apparently!).

We got through the work speedily with time for a quick tea and biscuit break and even had a few minutes spare to debate GG Redbridge's favourite topic, dogs vs cats 🤣. As usual we concluded that all furry creatures are great and welcome in our group!

We were all ready in time for drivers arriving to pick up the parcels and could all cycle/walk/run home with the satisfaction of a job well done. Well done team, we smashed it today and extra kudos for battling the wind to get there and back!

Yes that was a lovely sitting down job before the real work began but seeing a photo of my lockdown roots was a bit of a shock 😳🤣.
