One of my online friends waited in all day for her OU (open university) parcels. It's hard to learn so far from home, and getting the box of books and resources is so exciting. :-) The tracking website said it had been delivered to a neighbor, but there wasn't a surname or house number. She had a bad leg so she couldn't go out.Later that evening a man dropped her parcel off to her. It had been delivered to a completely different area of town but a similar road name. He was confused by the parcel slip but when he collected the parcels from his neighbor & saw it was OU he drove it straight to her. It turns out he had been an OU student too, so he knew how desperate she'd be to get them and they had a pleasant chat.

I had just moved into a new home but one of my neighbours took the delivery and brought them to me later. I still have fond memories of my first meeting with Anne. Tell your friend she will love ou, they are really supportive and the resources are first class. X 💓
