I don't know how to tag my last thread. Having people from Ukraine staying.
Ours guests arrived yesterday afternoon. 2 mums (sisters) with a toddler each.

The reason I'm crying is this afternoon a delivery was made by someone in our area
of a toddler sized slide and a swing. Some gift cards and letters were posted through our letter box
welcoming them to our town.
All anonymous. I think it might be people from our street(it's quite a long one) so can't narrow it down.

Absolutely fantastic. Exactly what community spirit should be about.

Lovely news. Do they speak English Op? How is communicating going if not ? Just wondering

Cornettoninja · 03/04/2022 18:59

After the news coming out of the Ukraine today as they survey the aftermath of the Russian troops retreating from Kyiv that’s a wonderful scene you’ve described @Yoohoo778611. I hope those dc and their mums can enjoy some space to be calm after their ordeal and you and your DH have a good experience with them.
