I’d seen Mrs M’s shopping mission listed on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday with no takers this week - so on my day in the office on Friday I decided to sign up. It’s been a few months since I’ve seen Mrs M, so I stopped for a quick chat before heading off to the supermarket. She told me she had run out of food this week so had been eating crackers for lunch and dinner!! That will never do, so I headed off to Tesco armed with a nice long list to get her re-stocked.

There were lots of fruits and vegetables on Mrs M’s list - she tells me that these help with managing her health conditions. There were a couple of items that Tesco didn’t have - pitta breads and sweet potatoes were out of stock, so I popped next door to Sainsbury’s to tick off the last items on Mrs M’s list.

Mrs M was ever so grateful for her shopping. She said a big thank you and off I went back into the rain ☔️
