[Margaret Pilkington]

I really like that.
In days gone by communities were made up of extended family....and they all looked out for the elderly and the children......and even people who were not family were 'honorary' aunties and uncles.....this seems largely to have gone by the board.
I know that people have busy lives....but it seems that there is little effort to get to know neighbours these days.
That is the sad part of all this.
We can all find ourselves in difficulties of one sort or another.
And money isn't always the answer. Sometimes the touch of human kindness is worth far more than gold.
A good turn is beneficial to both the giver and the recipient.
