Well all by myself is not strictly true but with Friday FoodBank regulars Daddy Clare (Mike) on holiday and Baby Clare (James) unwell I was the only GoodGymmer.

I arrived to a warm welcome but it was mixed with disappointment that no one else was with me-the Frenford volunteers were also very depleted this week and there was only 3 of them.

Luckily the 4 of us are old hands at this so we just got on with the job. Fortunately a trickle of other volunteers followed later. Yes we had to work a little harder and longer than planned but as always those who were there pulled together and got the job done.
