My community,
After an accident left me with a broken leg and ankle, I was so grateful and humbled by the help and support I received from people in my community. I had visits and lovely, thoughtful gifts. People I had only ever seen in passing contacted me and delivered delicious food. A group of amazing women organised a dog-walking rota for my energetic sprocker, Jasper. They took him out twice a day for four months while I recovered from surgery. People called by for chats, brought shopping, took me out for trips and helped in so many ways. Everyone was amazing and I can never thank them enough.
I now know so many more people and am reminded of the kindness of others. I love my village and feel even more at home here now - I’ve even become a parish councillor!
