Tracy and I joined other volunteers getting St Margaret's Church ready to open its community shop.

What a buzz of activity, with socially distanced helpers at different stations inside the church: stocking the food bank, the children & baby section, the cafe (to open after 17 May), and the stylish home wares.

Tracy helped unpack goods on the ground floor, while I was tasked with packing away all the Christmas items to go into storage. Next Tracy & I were asked to find the best way to display music items, including a vast donation of classical music vinyl records. Tracy had the best time, flicking through the collection, exclaiming about the range of composers, while I just wanted to stack 'em high! We completed our display with CDs and a range of musical instruments.

St Margaret's Church is certainly a great place to visit, grab a bargain and from next month, to have a coffee and sink into one of their huge sofas.
