LAST week I took a friend to catch the last 19 bus in Burton Stone Lane. As I turned to leave the stop opposite Burton Avenue, my foot caught an uneven paving stone and I fell to the ground.

Owing to having arthritis I find it impossible to get up without help, so I was very grateful to the young man who got off his bike, put it down and came over to help me up. Thank you very much.
