Eglu Go With 2m Run For Sale

[docsquid]

Last week our elderly neighbour collapsed at home. We went in to help him and he went to hospital to be checked out.

 

This week he called me over to the fence when I was cleaning out the chicken house. He had bought us this lovely thank-you present.

 

 

Isn't that fantastic? We give him a few eggs from time to time, and he always talks to the chooks over the fence. Now we have a chicken by our fireplace reminding us of our girls when we are sitting down in the evening.

He has been a neighbour for over 30 years. His wife died last year, and he's not in the best of health, so we look out for him. He has had various heart problems, by-pass surgery and is diabetic. We have had to call the ambulance twice for him in the last 6 months when he's had a funny turn.

 

I was bowled over by him thinking of us! He obviously likes our little chickens, as do all our neighbours.

He is lucky to have such lovely kind neighbours, when my parents were alive they lived some distance away and it was lovley to know that they had good neighbours who would help in an emergency.

 

It is a lovely present that he gave you.

Yes, good neighbours can make all the difference to someone continuing to live on their own. It's cheering to hear a good news story like this - and what a lovely present, glad he appreciates all that you do for him.

You deserve it Docsquid for being a great neighbour. It is lovely getting little presents when you do something for people but I do get all embarassed when they spend money on you when you do something for nothing. Well done you

Thank you. Yes, I think he really likes the chickens. He lost both his cats and then his wife in quick succession. He feeds our cats in his garden sometimes - we don't mind as he enjoys it. He is always talking to the chickens over the fence

 

We are very lucky with our neighbours as they all like the chickens. I dread to think what might happen if he decides to move away (maybe to be nearer his son) and sells the house as we could get somebody who objects to them. We have thought about buying the house ourselves if he moves, and letting it out, so at least the occupants couldn't object as they'd be our tenants!

 

In the meantime, we're so happy that he's still there, still enjoying our little chooks.
