This time last week I'd just completed some initial Tesco e-learning training and spent an afternoon with an existing driver out on the road.

Fast forward seven days and I've spent time out this week with other drivers across the whole of Salisbury store's delivery area (which, in today's sunshine is such a beautiful part of the world), had a mention on the wireless and completed yet more training.

DBS certificate all sorted (that's my third current DBS now) so this evening I was allowed out all on my own delivering to the good people of Fordingbridge, Downton and Salisbury.

Some were self-isolating, some were pregnant and all were very happy to see the van pull up and keeping a 2 metre distance of course.

I think it goes without saying that staff at all the supermarkets and other essential retailers are doing a great job in unprecedented circumstances. I take my hat off to them!

Back in tomorrow to do an extra shift. So far so good. Keeps me busy and useful.

Stay safe all! 🚚
