Miss S was pleased to see me when I arrived at her flat to collect her shopping list and cash, even if I was a little soggy from the rain! She explained if there was something on the list I couldn't get then not to worry about it and don't get alternatives.

As it was 4pm on a Sunday there were no large supermarkets open so I opted for the nearby Sainsburys. I was able to get most of the items on Miss S' list with just a couple unavailable. I was on my bike so I thought I'd have a quick ride down to another local shop to see if I could complete the list. However, I was still unsuccessful in ticking the last couple of items off.

I rode back to Miss S' building and took the shopping up to her flat. Whilst everyone I have done a mission for has always been grateful Miss S was so appreciative and pleased that I'd got the shopping for her. She tried to offer me some money (which I politley declined) but I stayed outside her flat for a little while and we had a good chat about how she's been getting on through lockdown. She explained it had understandably been quite tough not seeing that many people so she was pleased to see my happy face today. That was me done and a nice ride now the rain had stopped
