PLEASE can I say a big thank you to the people who helped me in my hour of need.

Firstly there was the wonderful lady who kindly took me in to Witney when the 9am bus did not run.

Then later in the morning having left the Co-op, I realised my purse was gone.

A big thank you to Marie and Amy in the shop, who helped me (to no avail), and to whoever kindly handed it in.

Finally, my thanks goes to the wonderful staff at Bakers Butchers who also went out of their way to help me.

Fortunately, my purse and I are now safely reunited, cards and cash.

As I was already running late due to the bus, the shock and panic of losing my purse did not exactly make my morning.

What did make it was everyone who so kindly helped me in my hour of need.

I am truly grateful to you all.

It is nice to know there are honest souls about, and kind ones too. Thank you, from a very harassed lady!
