I wish to thank everyone who helped me after a fall on Windmill Hill in December.

I was overwhelmed by all the kindness show during the hour I lay on the pavement, waiting for an ambulance.

It was a cold night, but I was kept warm with coats, blankets and hot water bottles. A police car stopped and the police officer gave me his jacket, too.

A young Scout brought water and people living nearby offered hot drinks. There was such an amazing community spirit, with offers of help later if it was needed.

I was given money to buy drinks at the hospital, and Bella followed the ambulance, staying with me until 4am at North Middlesex Hospital.

My broken arm is now on the mend, but I shall never forget all the kindness shown to me that evening.
