Earlier this afternoon our water supply disappeared. Yorkshire Water said it was due to a large burst main and it would soon be fixed. Now we have had a message to say ‘no water until morning’. One of our younger neighbours did a run up to Sainsbury’s and has delivered (free) a 2 litre bottle of water to all us oldies - about 12 houses in all. How lovely and thoughtful is that? I am so lucky to live here!
That’s very generous and kind hearted of your neighbour!
That is SO kind of him Tabby…how thoughtful!
It does make a change and it’s nice to know community spirit is still alive.
Good for them… and you, of course.
Apparently tabs it’s one of the big water mains that’s fractured, affecting the Huntington area
Yes, excellent and I’m pleased that you have good neighbours. We also live in Yorkshire - we moved here two and a half years ago. Like you, we have excellent neighbours Yorkshire gets the thumbs up!!
How lovely to have such thoughtful neighbours, Tabby.
Our Doctor once offered to get our prescriptions when one late Winter we both had a very nasty chest infection.
He said I can always get somebody to do this important task…
We both were surprised actually.
Never a lender nor borrower be. You’re indebted to him/her now.
That was very thoughtful and kind, there are still some good ‘uns about
I’ve had a few nutty neighbours.
One neighbor called the police out to Mr M …
And he made funny phone calls to me … saying nothing and just breathing heavily except the one time he said … I’ve just seen Mr M go down the road, I know you’re alone.
I knew it was him because I’d just seen standing in his drive watching him drive off down the road and recognised his voice.
That’s a coincidence. They all say the same about you.
If I could post images I’d smack your bum … but rifling through the smilies
A hah! …
That’s scary, Morty!
Yes, Polonius, I know that - but she did not lend me the water and I have not borrowed it - so it will neither lose me her friendship nor dull the edge of my husbandry!
Ooh…I hope its fixed really soon then!
Yipee - pass the kettle - it is back on!
Good job!
