Christmas is almost upon us. For most people it is a happy time, but for some it is a sad and lonely time.
So may I appeal to readers who know of anyone on their own, no matter what their age, to call on them - with a card or a small present if you can afford it, or just to say hello.
It would mean so much to them. I am lucky, I am blessed with good neighbours. So, please, be a good samaritan this Christmas.
