So far 2010 hasn't been overly endowed with good news stories, so it's nice to hear of the mystery purchase of a new van for the Uig community shop. The Uig shop on the Isle of Lewis uses a van to collect supplies from Stornoway and to deliver goods to customers. But their previous van was on its last legs, putting future deliveries and the community-run shop's supplies at risk. Then, out of the blue, a mystery benefactor stepped in and purchased a lovely new refridgerated van for the shop. And before you ask, it wasn't even an episode of the Secret Millionaire. Maybe there is hope for humanity after all..........
