It's a big day for Ollie. For the first time he is allowed to go to the shops on his own to buy some cheese for his mum (and some sweets for himself). Although his mum warns him of many things to watch out for on the way there are some that she has just failed to mention. When Ollie returns home safely with the correct change, some cheese and sweets, he reassures Mum to trust him, but doesn't mention all the adventures he had on the way.
