A beautiful thing happened today... I was walking in the city and it had begun to rain. As I approached the train station I noticed a homeless man, sitting against a wall, trying to keep dry. Up ahead of me a small group of schoolkids - maybe 14 or 15 years old - were approaching the man. I thought they were about to give him a hard time when one of the boys reached into his schoolbag, took out his umbrella and offered it to the homeless man. It nearly brought a tear to my eye! What a simple, beautiful act of kindness. Imagine what a wonderful world we could create if EVERYONE took a second to make a random act of kindness each and every day :)

Ah yes, if you can't tell I am a big ole Beatles fan! Despite the fact they did their thing way before I was born... I think I must've listened to all their albums at least a hundred times hehe! My mum always told me I was born about 25 yrs too late :D
What a lovely story, Bee. And thanks for the ace Beatles pic, I am a huge fan too, I grew up in Liverpool, when we go back this year to visit my mum, we are going to visit John Lennon's aunt's house where he grew up, can't wait! Did you see Nowhere Boy?
So sorry I missed you last week, bah! I met your lovely friend, though! xx
