I COUNTED them in and I counted them out again. Fifteen Teddy Bears, 11 glove puppets, a few squishmallows and two Grinches, both of whom seemed entirely relaxed about being stuffed in a black bin liner awaiting a Christmas collection.
I was an enthusiastic volunteer last week helping out my old housing scheme’s official charity Letham4All, who are participating in a soft-toy collection being co-ordinated by the St Johnstone ultras group Fair City Unity (FCU).
The objective is to gather the biggest number of soft toys possible and then distribute them to families the length and breadth of Perthshire, from Lochearnhead in the west to Errol in the east of the county.
