In times of COVID, the Ukraine invasion, floods and a coming election, let me share with you a wonderful act of decency and kindness.
I had just finished visiting a relative in hospital and was feeling a little depressed by it all.
On my way home, I stopped at my local shopping centre and, because of the rain, I decided to park under shelter.
The only vacant spot I could find was a tricky one with a pole on one side and a truck on the other.
Shopping done, I loaded the car, found a trolley bay to use and was concentrating on how I would extricate my car from its difficult spot.
Home I go, unpack the groceries and suddenly there is a knock on the door.
Standing there calling my name was a pretty young woman holding my handbag!
I had left it in the shopping trolley.
My wonderful rescuer had found my address in my wallet and taken the time and effort to return it in person.
She even apologised that she couldn’t find a phone number to ring me.
Aren’t people wonderful?
