No queueing. I got some bits for dinner as well. I recognised someone at the front of the shop...↓

 My younger brother was stood there,

wearing a face mask.

He couldn't get to me, as a member of staff was filling the shelves and there was a trolley blocking the aisle.

I soon disappeared, paid for my goods and left the shop.

I was sat in the car, and he looked at me when he went past in his van. 

Now onto our local Farm Shop↓

Back home to unload the shopping.

We divided all the meat into small quanties into food bags.
