Tutti Frutti
1 GoodGymer made their way to help an isolated older person in Lambeth.
- Friday, 3rd of April 2020
A short run took me to Ms V and her family property. I arrived and asked if they have a shopping list and cash. They had £10 cash but no list so when I asked what they would like I had four different voices shouting from different rooms. All I could hear was one boy screaming for strawberries, the rest I noted down to my best ability which was just fruit and vegetables. Then away I went to complete this task.
I came across a local fruit and veg shop with no queue and had a good stock of mixed fruit and veg. The strawberries caught my eye instantly as there were boxes of them and big too. I didn't quite have enough money to purchase everything but the shop keeper was very kind and allowed me to have the goods for £10. It must of been my smile (which had a mask over it) or it could be that he learnt that it was for a family on isolation. Either way I was extremely grateful.
On my return the family were very happy and thanked me for going shopping for them.
