Great to help Mr B again today and it had become clear to me last week that he’d grown a little tired of the usual orange squash that I’d been buying him, as he’d asked to try a different flavour - we settled on apple and blackcurrant which seemed to go down well.

This week I surprised him with a mixture of grapes, raspberries and blackcurrant with a hint of herbs and spices, which he was keen to try.

He was also in need of some petroleum jelly which he’s been rubbing into his troublesome knee (and had run out) but neither of the two local stores had a tub.

No matter as we agreed that I’d look for some further afield whilst I was out on my run (not wishing him to go without) and managed to get some at a pharmacy and popped it back to him to complete the task - much to his relief!
