Puns aren't my strength, i'm sorry.... moving on. After some confusion caused by a Greggs employee who had clearly had a bad day (we feel ya hun), John, Tom and I managed to collect the delicious bready, cakey and sausagey dregs. It seemed the snow had stopped people venturing out more than usual so we managed to fill 3 large backpacks, a bike bag and a Sainos carrier bag. This is when it occurred to me that I had turned up to the cycling equivalent of a group run, we had all chosen bikes as our snow transportation. Thankfully Tom and John were very patient with my slow cycling and knew the way there from previous Community Missions. After a snowy ride ,we dropped off the goods, took a quick pic and rode back to the warm. Bright Morning Star Prisons and Homeless Outreach have a fully stocked fridge for another day. A great example of how the GoodGym community connects the dots.
