Four Good Gymers assisted at the All Saints foodbank session. Today the usual crates of dry and tinned foodstuffs were topped up with the addition of some fresh carrots 🥕 🥕 🥕. After a few latecomers the final packs were made up and the hall cleared and cleaned ready for next week.

The grass and flowers have grown quite high here now presumably thanks to No Mow May. Beautiful but makes it a bit trickier to find the litter. Half an hour was all it took to make a difference.

It was all about the beds today and preparing them for a good water (flooding was the term used)! We dug trenches around the beds, raked off all the detritus of old plants, larger stones, rubbish and trimmed the edge grass. Over the next few weeks some major spring planting will be taking place and today we helped prepare the way. It's going to look marvellous!

The foodbank drew to a close and the main hall was cleared away for next time, while the food cupboard was given a quick hoover!

Today's foodbank customers were quick in the door as the rain poured down outside. It was a moderately busy session with Rob, Richard and myself out back in the store cupboard, while Pat was busy in the kitchen, and Fiona on the front desk. It was good to meet India today who was serving hot drinks on the cakes table.

There were a few requests for any spare umbrellas on the way out! ☔

Chairs stacked, tables cleaned, dishes washed and all put away
