WE are delighted by the kindness shown to Peter Frost, who has been living in his car for the past 18 months.

Since we reported his plight, strangers have made a point of talking to him and he has had offers of lodgings and work. A family reunion is even in prospect.

Mr Frost had hit rock bottom and we hope this is the beginning of his ascent.

The finest moment will come as he finally swaps the back seat of a Ford Escort for an oh-so-comfortable bed.
