How did it all go? |
Well, it went really well. We start when Crisis at Christmas closes, so last night was the first shelter - always a bit of a challenge because so many of the usual volunteers are away. Also, we don't know much about the guests needs - or how many guests to expect. (Over the 3 month season we get to know them well and are often able to find them housing and work). A particular worry last night was that we had an unusual number of women. We've never had more than 5 or 6, so we put their beds in the small room to give them privacy - but the co-ordinators had to re-think at the last moment.
Anyway, it all went well - and I finally met Pilsbury. Where has he been all my life?! He's brilliant - and what a gent! I do hope that he enjoyed the evening. I'd put my favourite coat in a muddy puddle for him for his help with the new and terrifying industrial cooker!
The menu was: my beef casserole, or squash, mushroom and broccoli pie, with boiled spuds and peas, and Pilsbury's apple crumble with custard and/or cream.
Happy guests and a quiet and peaceful night. |
