More on the kindness of strangers.

Greatnan A gift from the heart to lift the spirit.

How kind of him. You see Greatnan you may be an argumentative old woman, but we like you and so does he!!

I'm sure he saw much more in you than just an 'argumentative old woman'. We do!

Here, here! x

You are all very kind and I am very glad I found you.

He's probably been listening to the Archers! But what a nice thing to do.

Greatnan Kindness can do wondrous things...especially when not asked for, or expected. We live in a remote part of Scotland. The village people are among the most kind and generous of spirit of any we've encountered during our 70+ years. Whenever we visit cities and see the homeless and people who are having a difficult time, we do whatever we can to pass on a little kindness and good cheer. If I had a fortune, I would enjoy nothing more than sharing it with needy people. As I do not do the lottery, I'm afraid that particular dream won't be realised.

That is a lovely gesture, Greatnan enjoy the jigsaws. Perhaps you would like to "pay it forward", I think that is the right expression.

Kindness spreads out such big ripples doesn't it? Pleased for you Greatnan, enjoy the jigsaws.

Good suggestion from syberia. Random acts of kindness from strangers are very special, and you can do something for someone else Greatnan. What a lovely thing he has done

I will take them to my nearest Emmaus - I have never found a charity shop in France and I can't carry them in my luggage as they would take up too much space. I like to share my enjoyment of this area, so I have invited several friends to stay here when I am off on my travels. Two ladies came down last December and I am expecting more in summer when I am in England. My single women friends and my sister will come when I am here to take them out. The man who sent me the jigsaws says he might bring his wife - they live near Cahors so the mountains would be a nice change for them.
I am still waiting for my first guest from Gransnet!
