Wonderful occurrence today - we were rescued by a knight in shining armour!!

Well, actually a friend in a slightly battered old car,   but....we were waiting for the bus to go in to Livorno, and someone told us that we were in for a long wait, as there had been an accident on the road into Livorno.
THEN.....incredibly, with true operatic last-minute timing, a friend of ours appeared at the bus stop and gave us a lift into Livorno! What made it more amazing was that usually he goes in on his moped.....
