I should like to take this opportunity to thank the two ladies from Marlborough who helped me out on Friday, July 18.

Finding myself in Marlborough High Street with only 15 minutes to make my godmother’s funeral at St George’s Church in Manton, and not a taxi to be had, you so kindly arranged to give me a lift to the church. Thanks to your help I made the funeral in time and I am so very grateful to you both.
