Mr J was unbelievably happy when I got there as Mrs J was back home from hospital! She’d been unwell for about three weeks.

She asked me to put tea and coffee on the list. It was another heavy shop, full of root vegetables and what would be prize winning, in size at least, cauliflower and cabbage. Needless to say both troubled the scales at the checkout. I almost forgot the lettuce, and had to go back for them.
