A shop full of hope.

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

I returned to Peckham for another mission to help do a shop for Ms G. I followed the instructions to call her and get a shopping list which had all sorts like bed sheets, hand towels, envelopes, cross word books, pens plus your standard food and drinks.

I was surprised to get all the items because it was a jam packed shopping list and the only missing item was surprise, surprise ......... FLOUR. It's a very rare find these days.

But worry not, Ms G was aware that it would be the difficult item and accepted that I may not be successful in retrieving the flour.

She was just happy to get new bed sheets and towels so she can sleep in bed with fresh new sheets.
