My lovely neighbour.

My post went too soon. The young man opposite will help if there is any heavy job DH can’t manage. It is reassuring to know we have neighbours who will help in a crisis. Our younger son and DIL live in a close of about ten bungalows, mainly older people, our son mows the lawn of the elderly lady next door and she bakes him cakes in return and he and DIL walk another neighbour’s little dog every evening as her owner has mobility problems, they also took the dog to be groomed. It’s nice to know good neighbours aren’t a thing of the past.

We are still able to do things for ourselves but a couple of years ago when we had snow we returned from shopping to find the young man next door had cleared our drive and left a bag of sand and salt to put down when it was icy. The young man opposite helped DH move a fridge freezer into the garage and we know he will help w

I am extremely grateful to my Mum's terrific neighbours who keep a watching eye on her.
She is very fit and independent and I often only get to know about 'problems' after they've been sorted. I know if there was a big difficulty one of the neighbours would give me a heads up and it is very reassuring.

Seems to be something about cul de sacs. I have wonderful neighbours who are keeping a careful and tactful eye on me and are so kind. I don’t find asking for help easy but here I can, and it is a great relief to my ACs. We have got on well with our neighbours in every house we have lived in so I count myself very fortunate.

Just lovely neighbours here in my cul-de-sac since loosing mr.glamma over 2 yrs ago they have been a god send always asking if there is anything they can do to help me.
The gentleman in the end bungalow who is disabled and cannot get out and about sent all us single ladies a box of choc's at xmas just a lovely gesture
Good neighbours are priceless.

We have great neighbours. Always someone to fed the cat/ water the garden if we are away. My OH is the go to handyman fixing peoples fences, cars and lights and giving lifts. We often have a garden drink with several neighbours. We are organising a summer street party as we haven’t had one for 2 years , we have musicians bouncy castle etc

More good neighbours than not. But, like bad news, bad neighbours make headlines! I have friendly & helpful neighbours & DH helps immediate next door neighbour with bins when her grandson is away. Makes life so much more pleasant.

How lucky and lovely to have good neighbours. If we move there is no one who will say good luck, we will miss you. I have tried....

All the best for op Travelsafar.

Its so nice to read this .
My father's neighbour in the adjoining house is lovely too .

Good luck with your surgery .

We have a taxi service arrangement with our next door neighbour.
Comes in very handy when we have a social ? evening and stops having to leave the car in the station car park.
Also, she cuts my hair, I keep her minimal garden tidy.

Lovely neighbours are a blessing! Ours moved last year after 20 years and I still miss them
Good luck with your op Travelsafar ?

I have nice neighbours too it really does make all the difference

How lovely. We’ve never had good neighbours anywhere. Just never clicked. It must be lovely if you have.

And yes...hope your operation goes well.

I too am extremely lucky. We have a lived here for 30 years, but knew each other as toddler mums before that. If it hadn't been for one of my dear friends/ neighbours putting my children on the school bus with her own, I would never have been able to do my post grad. teaching qualification, when I decided to go back to work and change from secondary to primary teaching.
We have had so many fun girls' weekends away and also overnight as couples.
My son eventually married the girl next door!
They have been such a great support to me, all through sheilding and helped keep me sane!
I am blessed!

Me too - lovely neighbours. Since my OH died 2 years ago I have moved back to my old village in a new build in a little close of 7 houses. All the neighbours are lovely - in fact beyond lovely. I have yet to put my bin out or take it in - a neighbour saw me struggling with it (I have some mobility problems) and insisted that they would do it from then on.

Immediate neighbour saw me trying to mow the lawn and jumped over the low wall and did it himself - lovely couple in the 20s.

One neighbour heard I had had a garden bench delivered and he turned up with a spanner and put it together for me.

When I broke my foot at Christmas, yummy puddings appeared and endless offers of help.

I belong to a group of women in the village and we have a WhatsApp group .... if I need anything I flag it upon there and someone pops round: even for little things like lifting a bag of compost for me, or helping me construct a garden box - just anything - someone is round like a shot.

I realise how privileged I am and what a special place I live in. And it restores one's faith on human nature. I am surrounded by lovely kind people.

But then we both know a screw driver contains alcohol.

Lucky you Meryl. Orlin thinks a spirit level is a qualification for ghosts and a hammer is a bad actor.

That is my OH. Yesterday was 2 fence panels for a neighbour. Last week it was a neighbours lock that had jammed. He replaced that.
His daughter has a T shirt that says: if my dad can’t fix it, nobody can
I’ve been very spoilt for 42 years.?

Good luck with your cataract op tomorrow ?

How lovely travelsafar. Neighbours to be treasured. They are obviously as fond of you as you are of them.

Good to hear about such lovely neighbours instead of the usual complaints. You are fortunate travelsafar they sound perfect.

They sound wonderful neighbours! It must be so reassuring to know that you have them as a backup if needed.

That is so lovely. Neighbours to be treasured . I am sure you are a delightful neighbour too in many ways. Enjoy your shed.
