I WAS recently in an accident on the Burridge Road near Curbridge.

Sorry to everyone who was held up that evening, but the people who helped me were very caring – Tom Parker let me use his phone and stayed to give a witness account to the police, Carol Gibbons who, along with her son, directed the traffic until the police arrived, and the landlady of the Horse and Jockey who passed on a message from my daughter – and gave me a hug!

It is nice to know that there are caring people out there, and I am very thankful that they were all there last Wednesday .
