  • My good deed for the week

    Plot neighbours of ours are a lovely retired couple but unfortunately John had a stroke last summer, he is back on his feet although quite unsteady but in good cheer.

    To help him get onto the plots I made some hand rail earlier in the year which helps him tremendously, however their wooden greenhouse is falling to bits and its unsafe for John to go in really.

    Amazingly a freecycle advert got me a cracking 6x6 greenhouse for them which I collected last night. Next week it will be assembled and with the addition of a hand rail inside, John will be able to garden safely whilst his wife can get on outside.

    Its a great feeling helping somebody else, I cant wait to see their faces when its all up and ready to use.

    Piglet you lovely Man, doesn't it feel great when you can help others?
    Well done you!

          What a lovely thing to do - and all that good karma will come back to you you know. Well done you - I bet John is really glad to have you as a friend.

            How did you approach this, PW. We know of an elderly lady (84) who usually grows most of her own veg, but she's having health problems at the moment. We would like to offer to help out, but don't want to cause offence or make her feel helpless.
            Into each life some rain must fall........but this is getting ridiculous.

                  That's lovely of you. I am sure they think of you fondly.

                  A good deed always deserves another so maybe you will be lucky....

                    Well done David, it's little stories like that, that really do restore faith in mankind.

                    Sometimes it doesn't take a huge effort, but it does make a huge difference.

                    I can just imagine their happiness, from your efforts, David.
                    God bless all of us.
