Had an awesome thing happen to me today dad and me went by train to London (well just outside) and I had the tickets plus dad's disablement concession card in a little plastic wallet. I showed tickets at the barrier when we reached Bromley and had wallet in my hand when we got in the taxi. I thought I then put the wallet in the pocket of my back pack but when we arrived back at the station after dad's hospital appointment the wallet was not in my bag.

I was in panic mode then not only would I have to pay full fare back to Ashford for dad and me probably about 30.00 pounds in total but his concession card was missing and that is a nightmare to get a duplicate. As we walked towards the station door a taxi driver came rushing up to us and asked if were the people he took to the hospital earlier as he had found the wallet in his taxi. We were overwhelmed he had bothered to keep an eye on the station door for the last couple of hours for us to return it certainly put our faith back in humanity. I gave him a big kiss and dad gave him 5.00 pounds - it was incredible God was certainly watching over us today.
