I WONDER if you might be able to print a huge 'thank you' for me. On Monday of last week my daughters and I were in Tavistock shopping.

We bought some beads in Oxfam as the girls love making bracelets etc.

Unfortunately, outside NatWest the box sprung open and we were surrounded by multi-coloured beads on the pavement. My daughters and I looked down, not believing what had happened. We started collecting then (not wanting to lose the beads — or see residents rolling through the town) and to our delight and extreme gratitude we were joined by three lovely ladies who helped us pick every single one up (there were hundreds!).

Poppy, Amber and I would like to say a big thank you to those ladies that helped us — there really are some very kind people about!
