A Sweet Surprise
1 GoodGymer made their way to help an isolated older person in York.
- Tuesday, 12th of May 2020
Today I hopped on my bike to go and help Miss S with her shopping.
I rang her beforehand to get her list and then collected cash and her nectar card from her once I arrived. I then went to the nearby Sainsbury's where I had to queue for a little bit (avoiding being attacked by a nearby goose). Once inside I was immediately overwhelmed by how many types of easy peeler oranges there are (?!), finally selecting an average sized-ish pack. After a quick call to Miss S to ask what size ready meal she would like I was on my way back with the shopping.
When I dropped off her shopping and change she insisted on giving me a pack of sweets as a thank you, which she had written my name on - a very sweet and touching gesture.
Another mission accomplished!
