LAST Friday I had an appointment at the doctors for 8.30am.

There were no buses because of snow and slush.

I live on Alder Road Hills, in Poole, so I started to walk. There was a young man going to work; he caught my arm and slowly walked up the hill with me. He even took me across to the doctor’s.

On my way back, there was a young girl at the bus stop. By this time the road was clear.

I had left my bus card at home, so she gave me £2 for the bus fare.

I greatly appreciated those acts of kindness.
