A lovely, unexpected, act of camaraderie made my day.

I was on a four-hour bus journey, and everyone had gotten off for a rest stop.

They were rushing to go and buy overpriced coffee nearby.

I was in the front seat and just stood up to stretch whilst waiting.

The bus driver and I got talking about how insane the price of a lot of drinks is now.

This woman regretted not bringing her thermos of tea.

I mentioned I regretted not bringing my thermos of tea with me but hadn’t had room.

He immediately reached into a wee cubbyhole and brought out his thermos.

He poured me a cup.

He then insisted I take a very nice biscuit to go with it.

She and the driver talked to each other and enjoyed the little snack he gave her.

We sat together, drinking and munching peacefully.

We looked at the nearby mountains.

It all filled me with a deep contentment.

I gave him a heartfelt thanks when we reached the city.

The driver’s nice gesture meant a lot to her.

I do hope I see him again and can return his kindness.

I rarely see much niceness around me socially.

It meant an awful lot.
