Mission

Run of the mill

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

I felt quite ashamed that 18 months into Covid I had not done a shopping mission so when one popped up a few KMs from my home I jumped at the chance to get in a midday run.

Mrs R gave me a clear list and after a few clarifying questions (what about substitutions, would she like own brand or the market leaders - important stuff!) I was off to the giant Asda superstore at Leyton Mills. Having moved to online food shopping during the pandemic it was quite exciting being in such a huge shop. I quickly found what I needed before paying and heading back to Mrs R's doorstep.

She was very thankful and after a quick chat I was off on my run again.
