EARLY morning, on Friday February 24 , I saw a young man, a rough sleeper and his dog in Andover sorting out their bedding after a night on the street.
It was a cold windy day.
It made me think, how can we allow such a situation to be in this day and age?
I know some folks would say it is down to the person, be they addicted to drugs or whatever. But I’m afraid that I disagree.
A friendly old lady stopped to speak to the young guy, as did I and offered him some cash.
It really moved me and that is why I am writing this letter.
