ON December 29 I slipped slip on some ice, fell and broke my wrist.

I would just like to thank the young lady (whose name I don’t know) and her dog Amber who helped me up and walked me home.

Thanks also to the staff in the Darlington Memorial Hospital’s accident and emergency department which I attended.

The care I received made a traumatic experience so much more bearable.

Thanks also to my special friend – you know who you are – there are some lovely people in the world.

Thelma Johnson, Darlington.
