A short walk from Cody Dock is the new home for Crisis at Christmas warehouse.

After lunch at Cody Dock Kevin,Rosa Hilary and I head off to see Richard at Crisis.

We started with some sofa shifting ready for next weekend when the warehouse opens for public donations.

We then had the task of rebuilding the picnic tables for the Crisis volunteers who will be helping when the warehouse opens to the public in December (these are the same tables we put together in December and dismantled in January) not the easiest thing with multiple screw holes and extremely warped table tops.

Pete and Simon came and joined us which meant more tables completed.

We are back the the warehouse on Wednesday so sign up here

We then headed back to Cody Dock for a few carols, mulled wine and gazebo dismantling.
