Why buy when you can borrow? That’s the philosophy of the Library of Things, who lend useful things for the home, projects and adventures. As they say, this is affordable, convenient, and kinder to the planet (or at least to the people who live on it).

But people need to know about the library, particularly the new branch which recently opened on the Camden side of Kilburn High Road. We’d delivered leaflets publicising it before, on the Brent side, and I felt we needed to tell the people of our own borough about this new amenity.

On arrival at the library, the rain started to come down and I envisaged an evening as soggy as the last time we took on this task. But happily the rain held off as we headed off with a large bag of colourful pamphlets. Before long, we’d actually strayed into Westminster, but not to worry, they all need to know about the nearby facility.

It was hard work; large houses with big steps to the front door ensured we got a good workout, and eventually we’d delivered a huge pile of leaflets. However we then needed a sit down and some sustenance, so headed straight to Franco Manca for a large vegan pizza.
