It is not just the elderly that die alone

It is nice to see some people care for others.

Last winter after the snow the path leading to the entrance of our block of flats was icy and treacherous. Not one of the young men living here made any attempt to clear it away. It was left to me, a (at the time) 72 year old female and by far the oldest in the block, to dig a narrow path through to the door. As I'm retired and they are all working I think they expected me to do it. It must be cos I is young for my age:-)
That's an amazing story, TTH.....
No, we don't have any elderly neighbours on our street, TWR -in fact, now I think about it, I am probably one of the oldest :-( - but when I did, some years ago, we did keep an eye on them, but they all had family or more close friends who popped in nearly every day.

I don't know the age of the sheep, which are the only close neighbours around here, so I can't comment on the above.
The nearest neighbours (1/2 mike at least) did phone last year though with all the snow down to check (nice of them) and one of the local farmers used his tractor to help pull me up an icy slope to get back - the car being rear wheel drive. Now it's been swapped out for a rear wheel one and hopefully the slope and bend will not be an issue if the gin and tonic supplements return, can hardly call it a hill.....

I have Doris (91) on one side and Kathy (87) the other, they are very well looked after by relatives all year round, but I have their phone nos and ring them on a regular basis.
They both come into mine on xmas eve for Sherry & Mince pies & they tell wonderful stories of xmas when they were small. Facinating stuff.
Kathy goes into the local junior school every xmas and tells them about her life, they love it. They both get xmas hampers from the kids too.
