ON Thursday , August 15, I had a rushed, late lunch, and decided to fulfil a few personal errands in Wimborne.

I got as far as Crown Mead, by the public library, at about 2.30pm. and decided I had run out of time and had better get back to my car...my next recollection was of being sat in the front of a paramedic’s car, having my face swabbed.

Somebody must have come to my aid, and through you I would like to express my sincere thanks to them for the help so freely given, and the cheerful and willing help of accident and emergency at Poole Hospital, blood tests, X-rays and further eye examinations at Royal Bournemouth Hospital. I do very much appreciate the resources which were put so readily and willingly at my disposal.
