It’s hard to know whether too much attention would be seen (or felt in this case) as useless, I offered help to a blind lady once, a similar situation at Brighton station, when I saw her heading past the platform entrance she should have taken, (the one I’d pointed her in the right direction to and offered a guiding arm which was refused.. [I should have known!]) I ran over to help her find the right one, of course I did, just as you were in the process of doing, but on catching up and suggesting that I take her arm, she turn her cloudy eyes in my direction shouting, « Why does everyone think I’m so f****** useless? » I have a feeling your lovely story falls under Urban angels, mine Urban angles… you just never know!

Thanks for the mention PIpp xxx
I probably better not say what I felt like doing Pipp, suffice to say I would not have gained any wings !
Always a tricky one, knowing how much to help.
You too are an urban angel xxx
