Today's adventure on this lovely Spring morning brought me to Mr T's who had a very sugary yet short and detailed shopping list.

On arrival he greeted me by saying that he was glad that he didn't get "BadGym", and then went to explain to me that he would like the The Times newspaper not The Financial Times. Message received loud and clear.💂

With a short run to his desired Sainsbury's the task began and even though the list was specific and clear the items themselves were a mission to find. Not deterred and with patience I was able to track down the last and hidden Cream Slices and the Strawberry Jam Cream doughnuts. Unfortunately there was no sight of the classic Tunnocks Teacakes so I improvised and got the next best thing......Wagon Wheels. Finally after smuggly picking up The Times newspaper I walked back to Mr T's careful not to ruin the pastry cream desserts.

After I made the delivery, placing them carefully on his doorstep, standing at a very safe distance did I slowly watch his shopping fall while he opened the door. Unbelievable, luckily the creamy desserts were still intact and Mr T didn't seem bothered licking his lips.

We said our farewells and it was home sweet home for me.
