Mission

A Sweet Surprise

1 GoodGymer made their way to help an isolated older person in York.

Today I hopped on my bike to go and help Miss S with her shopping.

I rang her beforehand to get her list and then collected cash and her nectar card from her once I arrived. I then went to the nearby Sainsbury's where I had to queue for a little bit (avoiding being attacked by a nearby goose). Once inside I was immediately overwhelmed by how many types of easy peeler oranges there are (?!), finally selecting an average sized-ish pack. After a quick call to Miss S to ask what size ready meal she would like I was on my way back with the shopping.

When I dropped off her shopping and change she insisted on giving me a pack of sweets as a thank you, which she had written my name on - a very sweet and touching gesture.

Another mission accomplished!
