A time for kindness

sir – My 91-year-old neighbour has been in total lockdown since March. During this time a local taxi driver and his wife have provided Sunday lunch (with all the trimmings) not only to my neighbour but also to another nine vulnerable people living alone. The food was delivered ready for reheating and was apparently delicious.

This kind act gave great pleasure and reinforces the truth that out of adversity comes the opportunity for real compassion.
