We battled many hurdles this morning to get the mattresses and bedding into the church hall.

• Storm Gareth who was determined to make a scene
• My squid jeans (they have to be seen to be believed) causing gasps of awe
• Andy's marathon achievement leaving us frozen in shock and amazement
• A Sainsburys delivery man who really wanted to give us 8 pints of milk and a bag of quorn mince

....But we pulled together and made it through and the mattresses (and bedding) were safely delivered.
