Top of the Chops

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

Today I ran to the Camberwell area to do a shop for a very sweet old woman.

I arrived at Mrs R to introduce myself and collect her list. On arrival I rang her flat to say that I am from goodgym to which she replied "Oh yes I'm waiting for a young woman" This made me chuckle "that's me" I answered.

I picked up the list and could barely read it so I asked if she can read it for me. She took the list, looked at it, then with a sweet look she said to me that she can't read her list either. But the important items was the lamb chops and "sweet" pickle.

Back to Morrisions I went and most of the meat was gone. So I approached the Butcher in the store with my unicorn face mask on and kindly asked him if he had any Lamb Chops. He looked around and kindly said he would prepare me some and to return after the shop, it was all very secretive. I knew the unicorn mask would work its magic.

During the shop whilst I was struggling to find half of the list the butcher found me and placed the lamb chops into my trolley. I thanked him for his generous help and relieved that I got the main item. Get in!!

I tried 3 other shops to look for flour with no success, so I accepted defeat and returned with some missing items. But Mrs R wasn't disappointed she was just happy to have received a shop which contained some very special lamb chops.
