After three exhausting days walking every day and managing public transport with scoliosis of the back and arthritis two weeks before my scheduled hip replacement operation, I was extremely thankful that Stephanie saw my exhaustion and walking stick and immediately offered me a chair to sit down under cover from the rain while we waited for the next ferry to Westminster.
