I would like to thank everyone who helped me when I had my accident on the Crook road on December 10. They included the ambulance staff and police, the man who stopped to direct traffic until the police arrived and the lady from Crook Village Hall ballet class who brought me a hot drink and chocolate were much appreciated.

I would especially like to thank the gardener who stopped, got me out of my car and lent me his coat in the pouring rain and hail.
