I HAD the shock of my life when I realised I had left my handbag under the computer terminal in Bolton Central Library.

I ran round trying to find the bag but thought I would never see it again.

I went with a heavy heart to the library staff on the off chance that someone would have handed it in. It was a green Radley bag and had in it my whole life, from car keys, purse to bank cards and photos.

You can imagine my utter happiness when they went to check and some unsung hero had handed the bag in. So this is a public thank you to whoever you are, you have given me not only back my handbag but my utter faith that there are honest people in Bolton.

As the old saying goes what goes round comes around so I am sure one day you will be paid back for your honesty ten fold so once again my sincere gratitude and thanks.
