Fruitful finds

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

I cycled to Mrs S. on a sunny Saturday afternoon to deliver some fresh fruit and veg. I was able to find everything Mrs. S needed in the shop near her house she directed me to and had a nice chat with her when delivering her shopping.

Mrs. S said she was in the high risk category for coronavirus as she's suffered from bronchitis in the past and she'd been overwhelmed by the offers of assistance she had received since the outbreak. She also said she was worried about the economy and what the future holds for the younger generation who were helping her out and that she was going to do all she could to help them once the pandemic was over. I said I had also noticed that people were coming together to help each other out was hopeful this would continue after the pandemic.
