The task was very simple : take out 8 bags of recycling to bins outside.

Indeed, it was very easy for me, but definitely not for Mr N and even his neighbour who chatted with me about their worries.

Wales is one of those countries promoting recycling and indeed, it looks like those who are unwell still care about what goes into what bin bag. However, taking bags out down staircases and over a courtyard and into large and high containers is a different matter. Mr N's neighbour told me she drops bags through the balcony when council arrives on Friday mornings or asks family for help. Mr N was less lucky.

It was great to support Mr N and to chat to his neighbour about the challenges and worries the elderly are facing.

The task was done and dusted in 30 mins.
