Making things a little bedder

Mrs W has been in hospital for a little while and so our job for today was to rearrange some furniture so that she can safely come home. We were met by Mrs W's kind neighbour, who gave us our instructions and was impressed by the light work we made of getting an armchair upstairs and a bed base downstairs, round some tight corners and without losing any fingers to the doorframes!

As it was a pretty quick task, we had time for a bit of a chat. So interesting to hear that Mrs W and her neighbour had lived in the building since it was first built, about 60 years ago, and all the changes that have happened in that time. It sounded like Mrs W will appreciate being able to get back to her own home in the next few days and it was lovely to see that she has such a good neighbour to look out for her.

Also great to meet Rebecca, most impressed by the epically early start 😲 Hope to see you again!
