I WISH to express my grateful thanks to the kind person who called the ambulance when my husband collapsed near the Black Swan Car Park in Andover on Thursday, December 17, and to the ambulance man who contacted me before rushing John to Southampton General Trauma Unit.

To my family and friends, including U3A and Peter Pan members, my thanks and appreciation for the help, concern and support I have received while John was in hospital and now that he is gradually recovering at home.

My best wishes to you all and we both wish you a very happy new year.

Sandra Oliver, Brackenbury, Andover
