Shop it like it's Hottttt

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

Bright and early this morning and guided by the route of the river, I set off to meet Mr M. Mr M has been self-isolating and needed some help picking up essentials.

Mr M greeted me very warmly upon my arrival (from a safe, socially-distanced position, of course), and presented me with a very detailed and organised shopping list, which really puts my own lists to shame! After a quick chat through all the items and with shopping bags at the ready, it was time to get off to the shops.

To my surprise, there were no ques when I arrived at the shops, and better still, after a quick whiz round, I was able to get everything on the list exactly as described. And just like that I was on my way back to drop the shopping off to Mr M.

Mr M was so grateful when I arrived back with his shopping and was looking forward to his lunch in his garden!

It's been a little while since I've been able to commit to a GG Mission, but I was so proud to be back in my t-shirt helping out the local community. Yay!
