Advent Calendar of Gratitude #5

I am grateful on this day, 

Sunday, 5th December 2010,

for neighbourly love.
.
Over the last week here in the UK
we have had more snow that I can remember
and that's a long memory!!!

We are one of three cottages
on the edge of a little hamlet.
We don't see the neighbours that often,
.
as the saying goes~
.
"neighbours are like stars
you don't always see them
but you know they are there"
.
Our neighbour sparkled very brightly
last Wednesday, we were running
low on milk & bread,
also snowbound!
We asked Richard if he would
get some basics for us the
next time he ventured out in his 4x4?

two hours later he returned with these,

 and as there wasn't any 

fresh milk in the shops

he called to see the local dairy farmer 

who was happy to oblige.

.

All of this neighbourliness,

 and he wouldn't take a penny,

wine included!
.
That's being a good neighbour for you!
