“My boyfriend and I were traveling through France when he crashed the car. It was 2 am on the eve of Hogmanay [the Scots word for the last day of the year], and a dark, foggy night. A car pulled over and three locals got out and helped us to push the car off the road, we got to talking and explained that we had very little money and were unsure what we were going to do. They offered us a bed for the night.

“Without them we would have been hopelessly stuck. Not only did they put us up for the evening, fed and watered us, they also took us to the train station and gave us our fare so we could reach our next destination.

“Their kindness helped us through a potentially very stressful time. I dread to think what we would have done without their help.”
