Outside Sainsbury’s in Loughborough is a low bench. People sit and wait for their partner, friend, child. Others stop to smoke a cigarette before or after a tobacco free shopping session.

Cars, some of them taxis, pull up and stop to let passengers in for the trip home.

cold to the bone
I take the weight off my feet
two bags of shopping
