Kerry Wilson from Milton’s Forum Cafe is this week’s Clutha Leader, Silver Fern Farms Local Legend.

"She’s not only a cheerful person who makes great cheese rolls, she’s endlessly helpful," Kerry’s anonymous nominator said.

"I watched her recently from across the road — during all the roadworks — come out to help an elderly gentleman off his mobility scooter, taking his arm to walk with him to the chemist and then see him safely back on to his scooter. I’ll bet you anything she said to his thanks, ‘that’s all right, Lovely’!"

Surprised, Mrs Wilson said she would share her fresh new local lamb roast served in her cafe’s gourmet lamb and mint sandwiches.

"I don’t really notice I’m doing anything special," she said.

"We’re just a small community and we help out when we can, maybe I’m just giving back some of the kindness and support we feel here all the time."
