Rachael’s family benefitted from real kindness at a store recently- “Every year as my birthday approaches I have that awkward situation where my kids want to buy me gifts but they’re too young to do it alone and as a lone parent they don’t have another adult to help them.

My lovely Mum spent hours yesterday re-covering the chairs in my kitchen 😍 We had a new kitchen installed over the summer and although we love our table and chairs, the covers were looking shabby next to the shiny new cupboards. I bought some new fabric to go with the tiles, but I’m hopelessly impractical!

Overheard conversation

Perhaps I’m becoming a bit obsessed with kindness if I find myself taking a photo of toilet doors at the station on a Saturday evening….😆 But there had just been a brilliant conversation between the people in the end and middle cubicles.
