That is also one of the reasons why the 90-year-old widow now and then visited by Lutgart Lamont, which is a bit further down the street lives. Also Tuesday afternoon was that the case. “I had a few weeks of what mending are for Clara,” says the woman. “I don't know why, but it was me have not been able to jump. Today, however, I made a point of: I had to stop at Clara. But, against my habit, I was about half-past five already at the door, an hour earlier than usual.”
Ruiselede Clara Christiaens (90) has to Lutgart Lamont, a good guardian angel. When the youngest widow Tuesday afternoon the eldest came home, found She's completely dazed Clara on the floor in the living room. “I come now and then to come along, but never so early in the afternoon as well as today”, says Lutgart. The emergency services agree: Clara has been lucky.
