A GRATEFUL hospital visitor is today thanking the kindness of a stranger after being reunited with £150 cash she thought she would never see again.
Christine Speirs dropped her wallet containing the money in the car park at Ipswich hospital on December 29.
She said: “I was visiting my aunty in hospital. It was dark and raining and we were looking for change. I dropped my change and my wallet must have dropped out then.”
Mrs Speirs, of Lupin Road, Ipswich, said she did not notice the loss until the next day.

It wasn't until New Year's Eve that Mrs Speirs telephoned the hospital a second time to discover the wallet had been handed in.
