Mission

The great cornflakes hunt

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

I had no trouble buying stamps, toiletries and hoover bags for Ms M - and even liquid soap, much to my surprise - but it took a few tries before finding a shop that hadn't sold out of cornflakes! Luckily it was a quiet time of day, so not many people were on the streets and all the shops had helpful distancing guidelines. Having recently had to rely myself on family and neighbours while I self-isolated with suspected COVID-19, it felt good to be back on my feet and helping someone else.
