I WOULD like to thank all the people who stopped to offer help on Tuesday, September 8 when I fell outside McCullaghs jewellers in Lydney.

Also to the young lady paramedic who administered first aid before the ambulance arrived.

I thank also the two paramedics Mark and Dan who took me to Gloucester hospital where the staff treated me with care and kindness.  

Also thanks to my very dear friends, Bryan and Marie, who were with me throughout the long evening and eventually took me home at 1am.  

My broken arm is healing.
