Boots Opticians Wimborne 2021-06-02 Person 5 5 0

I visited the Wimborne store of Boots Opticians on Saturday 29 May at 10.30 a.m. in order to have a sight test. Usually this is somewhat of a mundane occasion that is more of a necessity than a pleasure, however, on arriving at Wimborne reception desk I was greeted by the Assistant Manager, Andy who had a delightful mannerism and cheery nature. He took me through to the consultation room for an initial test before going on to the full sight test with the Optician. On being handed over to Zabir, the Optician, I felt immediately relaxed and we talked about things in general which was so very nice. Both gentlemen were kind, thoughtful and gentle with me. They were very professional and polite - what I would call 'real gentlemen'. The other members of staff were also very nice and one young lady joined Andy in assisting me to choose a pair of reading glasses. I was made to feel very special and was given a great deal of personal attention which was lovely and I have to say, honestly, I have never enjoyed a sight test and choosing a pair of glasses as much as I did that day! I came out of the store with a lovely feeling and cannot wait to return to collect my new glasses. Today with our busy lifestyles, it is so easy to take each other for granted, missing those little things that matter to us and the people we love. We all need to be made to feel special sometimes as it warms our hearts and makes us feel good. The last nine months of my life have been like a roller coaster - the loss of a beautiful mother and a brother to a debilitating motor neurone disease - to see a person you love slowly deteriorate in front of you, just makes you feel how lucky we are to have our health. I have experienced much loss and sadness but my faith in God and the kindness of others keeps me going - along the path of life we meet people who leave footprints in our hearts, sometimes simply with a kind word, a smile or simple tender touch - all we need in life is love, faith and hope - from the staff at Boots, I can guarantee you a feeling of faith in people and certainly hope - love - well, that may be asking a little too much from these lovely people but then the warmth of the staff make you feel as if you have been wrapped in a nice warm fluffy towel and given a spa treatment! So, if you want to have that nice warm feeling, the girls are pretty and the gentlemen rather lovely in every way - what can I say - eye sight tests have taken on a whole new position in my list of fun things to do on a Saturday morning!! Bless your team and particularly Andy and Zabir for reaching out and showing me a tenderness and kindness that touched me and made that moment in time very happy. Life is short and we should treasure and hold onto the moments of kindness and happiness like the sun setting on the ocean and watching the sunrise kiss the dawn. Looking forward to seeing you again soon with your beautiful smiles and happy demeanor Thank you Sue Jenkins Hamworthy Poole
