Mission

All cleaned out!

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

I spoke to Mr H to see if I could help him sort out some essentials as he was isolating. He initially wanted a light bulb and a tooth brush but ended up requesting just tooth brushes. Five of them! I purchased them from a well know chemist at a bargain £1 each ( ok if you must know it was Boots) - it was a good deal for Mr H but I just wanted to check he was happy with the number and price. So I gave him another call and told him I would be with him within half an hour. I pretty much cleaned out the store of these very reasonably priced items. I then headed on my bike to his home. The weather was very mixed but I managed to avoid any heavy rain and enjoyed the ride to his home. A great view on route near white stone ponds Hampstead.(See photo) He lived on the 5th floor and met me at a socially acceptable distance to receive his five tooth brushes. He had a great smile!
