Nice one lettie, that made me chuckle!!! trust the elderly.........
It's nice to still have a bit of community spirit around though.
We have a couple of elderly where I live and they all watch out for each other. But I watch too, If I haven't seen them for a couple of days, i always go to one of there houses and just enquire abut the person I haven't seen. Usually I get " oh she's fine, I was round there having a brew at dinner, although I don't know why I bother, all she does is whinge," hehehe they are funny.
One of my neighbours lost there beloved Jack russell in summer. She was devastated. One day I was sat in the garden soaking up the sun and she came across and asked if she could sit with me. As we were talking she told me she hated being in the house without her dog, it didn't feel right and she was lonely. We sat in my garden for hours putting the worlds to rights. She has just got another dog now, so she is occupied at the moment taking this one to obedience classes in Oswaldtwistle
