Big Issue seller returns purse to Christmas shopper

BBC Yokiko Hosomi and Ioan CovaciBBC

A woman who lost her purse during a last-minute Christmas Eve shopping trip said she was "speechless" when it was returned to her thanks to a Big Issue seller.

Yukiko Hosomi, 46, mislaid her wallet while shopping in Bristol and assumed she would never see it again.

But it was found by Ioan Covaci, who sells the Big Issue in south Bristol.

Ms Hosomi had a festive surprise when Mr Covaci's son turned up on her doorstep with the missing purse.

She said: "Someone knocked on my door about five o'clock and I said, 'Who comes to my house on Christmas Day":[]}
