Second random act of kindness!

On the way back from picking the children up from school on Thursday we passed on older lady walking on the verge by the A30. The lorrys and cars were passing her so fast and we could see when we drove past she wasn't managing well! We couldn't stop on the main road but the Tregadillet lay-by was in site so we stopped in there and waited, watching the lady walk beside the busy main road and even into the road when she had to pass a road sign!!! It was quite horrible to watch and Samuel and Tamsyn were quite concerned about her. I have massive issues about people walking on the A30 road as two of my friends have died crossing it! It panics me now and i felt I had to stop to help her.
When she came close I got out and asked her if she wanted a lift back into Launceston or home? She was really pleased and said that she had been to visit someone in Lewannick and had missed the bus back home so had decided to walk. She was probably about 75 ish and had been walking along the road, in the wind for about two hours. Her feet were soaking as she had been walking along the wet verge and she said that she was a bit worried that she wouldn't get home before dark as she was only half way (another two hours to go!!). We dropped her in the town square as she said that she lived very close to the church. We all felt quite glad that we had stopped for her and helped her. The children said that they were pleased that she was safe. Two random car journeys in two days!!

On Thursday I also went to see Samuel's pantomime, Jack and the Three Buccaneers. Wow what can I say hehe very local I think the word is hehe. Samuel had lots of fun and was good and the other children I mean adults in the panto were funny (!!far too much belly on show at times.....)
