I am over 80, immediate neighbours are aware that my dh died just before Christmas, noone has contacted me to see if I need any help...save, see just below. car parked in front garden, that is how these houses were planned, so they know I am not going out.
my immediate neighbour did tell me to put a note on his dustbin if I needed anything, but when we see each other he barely speaks, after I have said GM or whatever, and rushes away.. couple of doors away, elderly lady has visitors and she will shout across to me, (perhaps 2/3 times) but doesn`t ask if I am o.k. or whatever..
so small close,, not a comforting community, no clapping, whatever we think of that, and nothing about VE..
ho hum... such is life..
