Met up with an old school friend for lunch who works in the area so it was an obvious logical next step to help out here to stay away from my desk for a bit longer. They were unloading new stock from a Felix Project van when I arrived so helped with some lifting. I then had to quality inspect some carrots and cabbages for a bit and present them neatly to go on the shelves. Final task was to unbox longer life projects which I am demonstrating in the photos (totally not staged!). Had a really nice chat with two regular volunteers and really appreciated the tea. Planning to go back when I next have time in the new year.

Today 9 Goodgymmers went to help out at TRAID on Rye Lane to help out. They were finished with their autumn season and will do a full restock tomorrow. We took all the old clothes off their hangers and bundled everything into big boxes ready to be shipped off. There was even time at the end to do some cleaning up. Andrada and David shared the hoovering and then we were finished. Anca from TRAID send us home with chocolates. Great job everyone! We will be back in January.

Patio cleared and beds weeded with stones laid out for Mr E
