Act of kindness from Sidmouth
SIR - My husband and I were on holiday in Sidmouth over Christmas and New Year. Unfortunately, I slipped on the ice on Christmas Eve and sustained a broken wrist.
I was helped by a most pleasant young woman who was shopping with a friend and her small daughter. She ‘phoned for an ambulance and stayed with me until it arrived, making sure that I was warm enough and comfortable.
Someone from the Lantern Shop provided a chair, for which I was very grateful. I did later go into the shop to thank them, but have no way of contacting the young lady who was so kind.
She lives in Newton Poppleford and I do hope that this message reaches her.
After Christmas, my sister, who was also staying with us, went to the Forever England shop to buy a pillow for me to rest my arm on the car journey home.
You may also want to watch:
The assistant there simply gave her an unwanted cushion, an act of kindness we find typical of people in Sidmouth.
I do hope that my thanks will reach all those concerned and we look forward to visiting Sidmouth again before too long.
