KNIT ONE, PEARL ONE…

First this week to BBC News, and to the small town of Thrapston in Northamptonshire, where a local knitting group has turned their hand to a very special project to raise money for the town’s upcoming fair, in the form of a knitted model of the town – head here to see what it looks like.

COMING HOME TO ROOST

A remarkable story on The Londoner is next this week. At the Salthaven Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre in Ontario, Canada, volunteers have unexpectedly welcomed back a mother duck mallard that they helped into the wild four years ago. Read more of this amazing story here.

KINDNESS IN MEMORY OF A LOVED ONE

Finally, to The Washington Post this week, and the story of Mary Latham, a wedding photographer from New York who has spent the last three years travelling across America to perform random acts of kindness in memory of her late mother. More about her incredible work can be seen here.
