Singalong Shopping

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

I ran to Mrs M and her husband's house to help them with some shopping. Mrs. M was very organised and had kindly left a list, some cash and a reusable bag for me outside the front of her house to collect.

I had a nice chat with Mrs M and her husband while dropping off their shopping. I mentioned that their house looked lovely and they old me it dated back to Oliver Cromwell's time and had a maid's quarter, sadly now without the maid. Mrs. M told me she'd remembered my name easily because of the song 'Jennifer Juniper' which she doubted I would know it. I told her I actually knew it well as my old swimming teacher used to sing it to me which resulted in an impromtu singalong before I ran back home with a smile on my face!
