A 28-year-old woman from Perranporth in Cornwall befriended an elderly woman at a bus stop.

Edna, 91, was going to town to get out of the lonely house she shared with her husband of 55 years before he passed away.

She was waiting for the bus when she bumped into Gemma Louise Donhou and the pair started talking.

When hearing the lady's story, Donhou asked for her number so that Edna didn't have to feel alone.

Gemma captioned one of the selfies "The is my new mate, Edna. I met her at the bus stop after work.

"We started talking and she told me how she was just going into town for something to do because she was lonely in the house by herself after her husband of 55 years had passed away.

"It broke my heart thinking of this cute little old lady all alone with no one to talk to so I asked for her number so I could come visit her for a cup of tea.

"She's 91 and just took her first selfie."


Donhou, originally from Perth, Australia, has been traveling the world for the past year. She is currently living and working in Cornwall.

If you ask me, the pair should continue Donhou's round-the-world trip together. What have they got to lose?
