Islington

Mission

Just what the Dr. ordered

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

I cycled to Mr R. on a sunny Wednesday afternoon to help him with some grocery shopping.

I gave Mr.R a quick call before heading out to double check his list and confirm that I would collect the cash from him when dropping off his shopping. I was glad I called as Mr.R said he had forgotten to add some vegetables to his list and he was on Dr.'s orders to include some, so some frozen veg was added before I was on my way.

Mr. R was (understandably) very concerned about corona virus risk so we had a very brief but pleasant exchange when dropping off his shopping.
