Just two of us today - Ivar was doing his first hospice clothing mission. Pretty unremarkable donations; though again we had lots of shoes…. I personally had some glass slippers which some lucky shopper will no doubt snap up. Ivar’s discovery of a massive kilt was a surprise - it nearly got put in the blankets. Typically Scotsmen did use their kilts as blankets when travelling. Masses of winter clothes today, so that’s good. Not so much in the way of coats, maybe they’re due to arrive next week. It’s odd how donation types go in waves. A good productive morning with lots of chat too.

If you need a 1940s dress or a 1950s drinks bar, then No 16 is the place to go. Opened in 2013 the shop brings together antique and retro furniture, homeware and clothing under one roof. The site also houses the main warehouse for sorting donations.
