Fortunately he wasn’t. He drove me to a hotel, and waited for me. When I couldn’t find a vacancy he took me to another hotel. He didn’t ask for money or try to asault me. He was just kind.
I’ve had such a lovely weekend; on Sunday we went to the Cotswolds with some friend walking- we visited a water park where people were canoeing; my son and his friend went down to the edge of the water where some canoeists were relaunching and got into a protracted discussion with them about crocodiles…the canoeists showed the children an animal they found and generally engaged with the boys. I thought it was a lovely kind thing for them to do.
It reminded me of the other things people have done for me; the skateboarders who carried my shopping home; the man who watched my son sleeping on a train whilst I unloaded all my luggage; the person who gave me money for the nappy machine on a stressed shopping Saturday when I ran out of nappies…..and the many people who’ve helped me up steps, onto trains and to amuse my child in airports, train stations etc.
