Another Asda shopping trip, but a different store, and new neighbour to help. Lee is currently experiencing mobility issues, and is unable to get out to do his shopping.

Just a short ride through the park, and I had arrived...but not before a sudden downpour had soaked me through...and left me soaking wet 😂 undeterred, I headed off with Lee’s list in hand, and less than 5 minutes later, was trawling the aisles, ticking items off in next to no time. Most of the essential foods were easy to find, but some were quite elusive and I had to enlist the help of a store colleague.

Back on my bike, with loaded bags, I headed back to Lee’s. He was very pleased to get his shopping...especially the all important chocolate bars...that’s my kind of essential food item 😋

The whole trip took less than an hour, but what a difference it made to Lee. He can now relax for another week, knowing that GoodGym will be ready, willing and able to answer the call, when he next needs our help...whatever the weather! 👍

Whether the weather be fine, or whether the weather be not. Whether the weather be cold, or whether the weather be hot. We’ll weather the weather, whatever the weather. Whether we like it, or not!
