I WANT to thank all the Good Samaritans who helped to get me home safely from Darwen in the very strong winds on Thursday, January 18.

Thanks to the ladies who saw me across roads.

Special thanks to all who picked me up when I fell.

Then thanks to the lady who helped me to post a parcel, and saw me safely to the bus stop, I couldn't have managed without you all.

MRS SYLVIA BOWERS, Peronne Crescent, Intack, Blackburn.
