Bouquets to a kind young man who came to my aid at Gateway Plaza Leopold when three teenagers subjected me to foul language and abuse for apparently looking at them the wrong way. He waited with me while I called the police and ensured I got to my car safely.
Kate, Leopold
Bouquets to the doctors and nurses at Geelong Hospital’s intensive care unit for the care of our beloved husband and father. Sadly he passed but many thanks.
Grateful Family, Belmont
Buckets to Suffered In Silence (Buckets & Bouquets, 2 May). I suspected the person who breathed heavily behind you was elderly and ill. I was saddened to read Offended Wife’s response (Buckets & Bouquets, 9 May), confirming my suspicion. If his breathing was so bothersome you could have discretely moved.

Buckets to the person who left in my parents’ letterbox at Ocean Grove a cowardly, aggressive note about a dog constantly barking. Get your facts right – it isn’t their dog, which is inside 90 per cent of the time. Try a friendly chat before threatening people.
Upset Daughter, Barwon Heads
Bouquets to two lovely, caring ladies who assisted me when I tripped and fell forward onto a footpath outside Myers St Medical Centre last week. They helped me inside for treatment. Thanks also to Dr Richardson and the nurse in charge for patching me up.

Bouquets to the kind men at Little River’s BP service station for push-starting my car when it wouldn’t start after I filled up. Their helpfulness meant I still got to work on time and made a stressful situation much easier. Thanks for taking five minutes to help a stranger.

Bouquets to City of Greater Geelong maintenance staff. I reported the Province Blvd boardwalk as needing replacement of rotting boards. It was done within a few days. Well done, guys.
Helen, Highton.
Bouquets to Parkwood Motel for a wonderful stay. Housekeeper Debra did a fantastic job, ensuring our room was clean every day. Bouquets also to Katrina, who had just taken over the motel. We enjoyed our free breakfast. All the best for the future.
Happy Travellers, No Fixed Address
Bouquets to the driver of a green waste truck that services Dew St, Whittington. His bright, friendly nature is refreshing and appreciated.
Barbara, Whittington
