The neighbour who lives across the road from us, lost his wife 18 months ago to a brain aneurysm.
Hard to tell their ages but I would hazard a guess at Late 60s early 70s?
They are/were a very private couple, happy to have a brief chat if both parties were outside, think, getting in or out of cars etc
I've been home a lot just recently, lockdown and now school holidays, and have noticed that he doesn't go out much, maybe once a week for food shopping?
The week before last he came back from wherever he'd been and I just happened to be changing sheets etc in the front bedroom, looking out the widow. He was walking very slowly, stopping a lot as if to catch his breath, and looked like he'd lost weight his, clothing was very loose.
And he sat down on the boot ledge a couple of times, as if to rest?
However the last 2 days and nights his front bedroom Windows have been left open, they not been shut at all.
Most unusual, as the windows at the front of the house are/were never open, even when the wife was alive.
So what I'd like to know is, is there a team/agency who make welfare checks?
Im thinking of giving our local surgery a call, and see if they can help out..
