DH and I spent the day with our 2 dd's in a town 10 miles from home where I grew up. Our dentist is still there and DH had an appoint,ent in the late afternoon so we made a day of it.
After walking around the whole town, playing in the park and having a late lunch we went back to put some more money on the car to discover the key had fallen out of a hole in DH's pocket.
While he went to the dentist dd's and I retraced our steps ALL over town to no avail. DH found us afterwards and we were walking thru the church yard as the last place to look just as the priest was coming out and locking up. I passed pleasantries with him and told him of our loss and he suggested where we could catch a bus if there was no train. DH suddenly said, "is there a Police Station?? which there was about 100 yds down the road on the way to the trains. We stopped in as a last hope and stood in the door talking to the police man. DH noticed a wallet that someone had posted thru the station door, and as we were blocking the door I bent to pick it up, and guess what I saw lying beneath the letter box.......
YEP, our car key.
We were overjoyed, and some of my faith in people was restored by whoever had taken the time and been honest enough to turn it in.
I also believe that some good Karma finally came back to me. As an honest person, who DH once tutted at for giving back £5 when I was over changed buying donuts, I believe that what goes around comes around and today it was proven to me.
Long I know, but just had to post my joy for all to hear!!!
