This must have been one of the fastest room clearing missions on record!

Meeting the lovely Amy a few minutes before starting time, we knocked on the door a touch early, but Ms E was there already. A quick look round the main room and 6 hands set to work clearing a couple of coffee tables and a couch of anything loose that might get in the way of moving things around. Amy expertly maneuvered the loose seat tetris-style in the corner of the next room, leaving space for the little table to slot in, finished off by the two sections of couch stacked on top of each other. Yes, this couch came easily apart in two sections, a delight after reading some stories on tricky cases in the recent weeks!

All obstacles cleared, a grateful Ms E set to sweep & mop the floors in preparation of the hospital bed to go in so her father could come back home.

5 minutes after scheduled starting time we just in time remembered to pose for a picture before going on our separate ways again.
