        You can never underestimate the affect even the smallest act of kindness has on someone else. We should all aim to be kind when and wherever we can

        Once when I was in Laos, my scooter got a puncture and the gentleman at the rental charged me €2. I gave him €25 because at home I would've been charged a lot more. I hope his shop became busy after that too

        Very moving. Yesterday @GAILsBakery a very kind lady on the counter GAVE us a carton of my daughter’s favourite oat milk because it is unobtainable in UK at the moment. Recently diagnosed with Crohn’s, and having been extremely ill, my daughter was delighted. Real kindness.
