MY most grateful thanks to the young gentleman who so kindly stopped to change the wheel of our car on the A64 on February 4.

The charming and expert help of Mark (I only learned his first name) stopped me from being late for a service in Manchester and assured me of the kindness that still can be offered and the efficacy of prayer!
