Good will to all Men


We had it during the war. It thrived during my time training as a nurse and it is still abroad today. I have just been listening to a radio programme and hearing of kindnesses to neighbours, the elderly and complete strangers. In one of the suburbs people were stranded in a John Lewis car park – the staff came out to try to dig them out from the snow and when that failed took them back in the store – gave them hot drinks , toys for the children and let them sleep overnight in the beds. One very pregnant lady was taken to a hotel to have a comfortable night’s sleep.
An 80 year old in Wales cancelled her hair appointment and the hairdressing staff collected her – did her hair and took her home. Yet another woman took complete strangers - whose car was stranded – into her home to sleep on her sofa.
