It had to happen sometime and today it did.

Offers of help and indeed actions were given.
Recent snow has made our area a no go out area.
Except for 4 by 4 or large jeeps. Tractors are even being used to ensure farm roads are kept open.
So phone calls are gifts from younger people.
Yesterday Mr M. collected the newspaper and bird nuts. phoned from town and the message relayed by Mrs M..”ANYTHING AT ALL NEEDED?” Soon afterwards a courteous call and headlines read and bird feeder refilled….Thanks Mr M.

So to today when a darling girl phoned with her offer of help she was given the task of “TWO LOAVES AND TODAY’S NEWSPAPER” forgot to ask for a cream cookie!!! Ah well.

Doorbell rung the sound of scraping. A near neighbour clearing the doorstep with the biggest red shovel I have seen.” GOING OUT WHAT DO YOU NEED?” Assured her that already someone had offered and thank her profusely. She said she will call again….

You see what goes round comes round…yesteryear it was us who did the asking….today when the radio station said to call on the elderly and check…someone else was listening. And it was good.
