ON April 8, while shopping in Aldi, my purse was stolen. It was a shock and a worry as it contained my bank cards, medical information and quite an amount of money. The purse itself was an expensive present from my daughter in Canada.

On Sunday morning I had a phone call from a young man to say he had found my purse pushed into a hedge and he kindly brought it to my home. Only the money had been taken, all cards intact.

What a surprise that was. The purse was in excellent condition, not only had I got my purse back, but my faith in human nature and kindness. Thank you Peter.
