Lidl Did I Know

I arrived to meet Mr A on foot on this lovely sunny day and he was very well prepared with his money and shopping list broken down between 3 different shops. The first was Lidl which I realised was quite a walk! If only I had a bike! Upon closer scrutiny of the list I also realised this was going to be a weight lifting session on the walk home. If only I had a car! Adding the food from the second and third shop was a real test of endurance but I made it back and Mr A was extremely grateful as he had run out of food and hadn't eaten yet today. So the effort was definitely worth it.
