Like many of our readers, I was horrified this week to hear about the disgusting attack on a charity fundraiser's possessions which left her tent slashed and boots filled with urine.
Philanthropic Tracey Hannam has been walking the length of Britain's coast to raise money for the RNLI. But her trip was soured last Sunday when she pitched up near Whitburn Beach and suffered the appalling act of vandalism, along with the theft of some of her possessions.
Police, who are investigating the incident, called the behaviour of the people who took advantage of Tracey as she wandered away from her tent to look for sea glass 'totally unacceptable', and I couldn't agree more. But my heart has been warmed by the response of people who are far more representative of our wonderful, welcoming region.
