MAY I thank the lady who gave my Mum a lift to my house on Friday, May 16. My Mum was returning by bus from Blackburn, but part of Blackburn Road was closed due to an accident. Unfortunately, that is where she lives, but all traffic was diverted.

She ended up in Accrington and was then brought back and dropped off at Intack.

Mum was quite confused with all the travelling and was trying to walk to Redcap in the hope of getting a taxi.

Then, this very kind lady stopped in her car and offered Mum a lift. She brought her to me and dropped her off.

I don't know how she would have managed without her help.

It's nice to know there are some good Samaritans about!
