We have quite a large back garden on two levels of which we have a fence on either side, however on one side the fence is slatted with wide areas between and our little pup Loki can get through so I went out to buy some wire mesh to block off the areas he could get through. My husband is unable to do things like DIY because of him only having one arm so I went out to try my hand at making the area safe for our Loki. My neighbour saw me struggling and came out to see what I was doing and he took over and then another neighbour came out and joined in in helping him! They did the whole fence of which we were sooooo grateful.
We were so pleased with their kindness but wouldn’t take any money or anything so I made a card for them both and I bought them some apple pie and millionaires slices.
I wrote the poem and did a card for each of them which goes as follows:
Thank you Steve/Andy for helping us
We’re grateful for your good deed
We now feel safe to let our pup
Roam round without a lead
It’s nice to know we have good neighbours
Who are so helpful and kind
Me and John really are so lucky
To have best neighbours one could find
With Very Grateful Thanks
Your Neighbours
John & Bev
I don’t like the area we live in but it helps to have good neighbours.
My Sister may be gone from sight
But in my mind I see her
My Sister may be silent now
But in my mind I hear her
My Sister may no more touch skin
But in my heart I feel her
My Sister may now be a soul
But she’ll always be beside me
I see her smiling at me
I hear her happy laughter
As she reaches out with open arms
She tells me, “Beverley, I love you”
