Snap, Crackle and Shop!!
1 GoodGymer made their way to help an isolated older person in Southwark.
- Wednesday, 20th of May 2020
My mission brought me to Dulwich which is a rare occasion as I usually go through the area. Mrs M was the lady I was doing the shopping for and after a couple of missed calls to her I decided to go straight to her place. I arrived at her home and after knocking a couple of times still no answer. Luckily her carer was leaving and informed me that she was in fact finishing having a bath. Mrs M was soon available to pass me a shopping list, which included M&S and Co-op discount cards, plus a couple of lottery tickets to check for her (unfortunately she didn't win anything). I visited both shops with a lovely pink, dog printed trolley bag along side me, which was given to me by Mrs M. I looked the part, I have to say.
I returned with a completed shop with the exception of the chow chow vegetable but I was able to get bird seeds to the delight of Mrs M.
I was asked if I could do one more favour for Mrs M whilst we were in the garden and before I left. She wanted her hose attached to the outdoor tap so she can water her garden and leave water out for any animal visitors she gets, I accepted, did it all safely and thankfully it was easily done.
