Colleagues and friends

I spend quite a few hours every week in a local MIND charity shop and I thought it was about time I took a photo, so this is J (the manager) and L (a volunteer and also one of my neighbours) posing in the back room of the shop.

This is where a lot of the sorting of donations takes place, the bric-à-brac is stored until needed out front, and the clothes are inspected, sized, tagged, hung and steamed.

The atmosphere in the shop is wonderful, which is mainly down to J, and we have a great (and often quite hysterical) time laughing our way through the work.
