Calm After Yesterday

Still on a High
It was somewhat quieter in the warehouse today, a time to get a few other jobs done. Everyone agreed that yesterday was a very special day in the warehouse, it is where everything we do comes together. Apart from The Mayor visiting us we also had some employees from Animal Health and Veterinary Laboratories Agency spending the day with us. We really enjoyed having them and they worked so hard too, especially when it came to loading our container. 
The feedback from them was they really enjoyed their day, they felt inspired by our operation and they still ache today after lifting all those cartons. We hope they come back as they were a great bunch.

Beautiful Things Still Appearing in our Boxes.


Today we found a beautiful handmade card, it was made with hundreds of small glittery pieces to make a very special Christmas card. This will be treasured by the child who receives it, they would never have seen such bright, sparkling things like this before.






In Jenny's shoebox she was checking she found all of the G.I.F.T.S. but at the bottom of the box all tucked up as if in bed was a beautiful doll with extra sets of clothes we all said a big "Ahhhhh" to that one!  


Naturally we do find some odd items too, a pair of men's shoes for one. We still don't know whether they should have been there and do keep wondering if someone is turning their house upside down in search of them.
Another thing we found were some rusty pegs and strangest of all a clove of garlic! 








Any Room on Top of Your Christmas Tree?


There was a delightful, wand waving person wandering around today, a bit confused with the sheriff's badge on but really useful as all the rubbish disappeared at the wave of that wand. Each table was cleared of the rubbish when Malcolm passed by.  The head gear was particularly attractive.

  1. You do find some odd boxes, don't you? We had a box full of bibles, bible study booklets, a dictionary, oh and some sweets!
