Just what the doctor ordered.. a natter on the doorstep!
1 GoodGymer made their way to help an isolated older person in Bournemouth.
- Saturday, 11th of April 2020
The pharmacy was surprisingly quiet so I only had to wait for a few minutes to get in. I told Mrs M that I was very grateful to her as completing this task meant I could have a few minutes queuing in the sunshine. As someone who doesn't have a garden, it was great to be out!
Mrs M lives alone and is struggling with not being able to have a daily walk, so we chatted on the doorstep for 5 minutes, about all sorts! She brought a smile to my day as I did to hers. I left her to carry on with her day and she was looking forward to doing some baking.
I was glad to hear that her neighbours are helping to do her weekly food shop. It's lovely to see people coming together and I hope it continues long after life is back to normal.
