This lovely lady had spent time coordinating all of her prescription needs into one larger group for pick up and delivery - so there were two big bags! The pharmacy were super-helpful with the pick-up and then with the rain just starting as I came for the delivery, I was able to have a lovely chat from the end of the lady's path. She is a very keen gardener, so we were able to exchange tips on hydrangeas, handling the heatwave as well as checking in on staying healthy. She said that the situation was making her feel every one of her 93 years, but I was able to tell her that she was looking great and that I really appreciated the chat about the garden. We both agreed that a little rain would really be a good thing!
