On behalf of Roy Bishop

Greetings Neighbours. On the afternoon of Sunday 12 October I fell over outside 38 Polygon Rd sustaining a cracked vertebrae, scrapes and bruises. I spent the following 8 days in hospital. I'm very grateful that a number of kind persons came to my aid. A few days later in my letterbox there were 2 lovely cards and a batch of homemade chocolate chips cookies from Olivia, Emma and Rich and also Amelia. These delightful children are unknown to me but I am so grateful for their kindness and concern. Could you please get in touch with me. Roy Bishop 09 575 8278.
