I would like to publicly thank the most kind-hearted person I have had the pleasure to meet in many years.

While in a queue at Poundland, Dorchester, a fellow animal lover commented on certain items I carried.

On mentioning I collected items for Monkey World, she then gave me a £10 note to buy more.

The park’s residents are better off now to the tune of 400 Vitamin C tablets and many boxes of special cereal.

The lady in a red coat left before I could get her details.

We are very grateful.
