I've only lived here for 12 months and so was still getting to know my neighbours and the area before lockdown began. Someone started up a neighbourhood Facebook and invited everyone to join. During lockdown there were posts every day offering assistance to those who needed it; lawns mowed, prescriptions collected, shopping done etc. Many people took the opporti7to have a sort out in the garages, lots and garden sheds and they then put a notice on Facebook that everyone was welcome to go and look through their discarded stuff and take anything that they could make use of. I personally was given a lovely garden swing hammock chair and cushions, garden table and chairs, books and plants. This weekend, we're having another "garden party", in a different neighbour's garden, something that began over the VE Day celebrations weekend and has continued once a month.
