Bernadette Russell and I had arranged to meet up at the South Bank Centre café in London. When we arrived it was really busy, so we asked a man sitting at a table on his own if he would mind sharing.
Grant told us that he was passing a bit of time before meeting friends, because he’d got his dates muddled up about a meeting he thought he would be going to.
Bernadette offered to buy him and me a cup of tea and the 3 of us ended up having a really lovely conversation about all sorts of things, including kindness, volunteering and the opportunities for learning new things as you get older. It was a wonderful example of human connection and kindness between strangers!
