My first task in my birth town, and a solo one at that! I met Helen from the Toy Library and we got to work sorting some of the toys in storage, separating out the older ones to be recycled, and putting like toys together.

I set about tidying up the musical toys and made a whole box of xylophones! Task number 2 was to work through a bag of shape sorter boxes and check they had all their shapes. I reunited a lost shape with its box, which was nicely satisfying.

It was really nice to visit the Toy Library again (it’s been about three decades since my last loan, I’m told…!), and I hope to help again soon.
