Sir.-On Thursday, December 23, my husband and I were in Basingstoke looking for the Venture Roundabout, which would lead us to Audleys Wood Hotel for Christmas.

Unfortunately, we took a wrong turning and were lost, so we stopped and asked a lady who was just arriving home in her car.

She gave my husband directions, but then said she would take us.

"Follow me," she said, and made sure we got there.

We would like to thank her for her kindness, which is greatly appreciated.

-S M Hurley, Abingdon, Oxon.
