Letters to the Editor
An explanation, an apology and
a thank you!
Last Wednesday, (6th November), I was locking up the north porch after a funeral and had just fastened the padlock to the gate when I realised that the church door had closed behind me. This door when it closes has an atomatic bolt and is impossible to open from the outside when it closes. So I was trapped as my keys for the padlock were in church. Stupid thing to do but these things happen.
Now for my apology. I’m really sorry if I disturbed your afternoon with my shouting and banging but this was my only way to alert someone to my predicament. (Yes, my mobile phone was in church too as I had no pockets in what I was wearing!)
Several people stopped and looked towards the church but I don’t think they could see me as the porch is rather dark. I was was begining to despair of a rescue when two lovely ladies, Sarah and Alex from Kirton Kids Club came running across the grass towards me and shouting we’re coming.
Thank you so much ladies for coming to my rescue. You really saved me as no one knew I was there.
They call us a nation of animal lovers, but, are we though? I wonder, we look in horror and maybe even anger at animal charity ads portraying dogs cats etc who have clearly been given a hard time, we tell ourselves that we would never treat our four-legged friends so badly, and perhaps make a donation to the said charity to salve our conscience.
But then the firework season comes around and you can’t wait to get out there and buy the one with the biggest BANG! and do this not only on the designated day, but days before and after and every time you do this you deeply terrify and traumatise the creatures you said you would never harm you should be ashamed.
