My trips to the shops - 20 minutes' walk each way - are made on foot
voluntarily. I have taken in the lesson that it's good to keep active as
you get older. Problem is that I carry my groceries back home in a

Get a rucksack which has a strap around the waist, then the weight will
be supported by the hips in addition to the shoulders. Much more
comfortable.
