THE milk of human kindness has been added to hot water and some tea leaves to warm the hearts of Newton Abbot shoppers.

The charm offensive was led by youngsters from Wolborough Primary School who hit town last Friday to celebrate Kindness Day.

The youngsters showed their appreciation of fellow beings by serving them up Britain’s favourite drink… a nice cup of tea, almost.

Recipients were handed specially decorated mugs containing a tea bag. It was for the grateful hordes to complete the enterprise by adding their own hot water at work or at home.

And there was no profit motive involved in the give-away proceedings. All the cuppas distributed in Courtenay Street were on the house.
