To love my neighbour?

[CruCru]

I haven't spoken with him very often. But yesterday he was out hosing all the dog shit off the pavement. I was very appreciative and told him.

That's nice, and I bet he's chuffed to bits you said thanks.

When I was preggars with DS1 (now nearly 11!) and elderely neighbour who was always up at the crack of dawn deforsted my car for me every day when it was cold so I didn't have to do it before work, scraped all the ice off, sprayed de-icer and with the key I'd given him warmed it up for me. His wife had died a few years before we moved in and I think he just missed her so much anything he could do for another woman that he would have done for his wife made him very happy. He died suddenly one afternoon when DS1 was about 4 months old, I could hardly stop sobbing for a week!

Hey grants, that is a nice story.

How nice- it's a shame there aren't many genuine neighbours around!

I love mine. When we moved here (small rural community) they came over, invited us up onto their porches to talk, etc. I check on some of them when we have heavy snow as they are elderly, another one comes and plows my driveway.

grants that's really lovely.

Aww grants

My neighbour is lovely. He clears my path for me when the snow is bad, and lent me a tenner for electric a couple of months ago as I was so skint!

My Mum wants me to date him, but he's a, got a girlfriend, and b, old enough to be my Dad (not to mention the fact that I don't fancy him!)

YANBU so long as you don't actually love him and won't be stalking him.

A good neighbour is a lovely thing, a great neighbour is simply an amazing thing.

Mine puts our bins out and brings us veg from his allotment. We bake him cakes and cut his grass.

Yours sounds like a good 'un OP.

Grants, that actually made me cry a wee bit.

We used to have a lovely neighbour, brought our bins in and looked after our cat. Sadly he moved away when his wife died. Lovely man.
