In that orange house live our lovely neighbors - ordinary, rural townsfolk but thoroughly lovely! He passed away at the end of last year, in his eighties. When he was 19 years old he was a bomber pilot in the 2nd World War. Later he and his wife had a shop that sold curtain's and blinds. His van had a sign that read - 'Blind Man Driving.' He had a great sense of humour and he would often give us cheek over the hedge! He'd say, 'Press on reward-less.' or 'I love hard work - I could watch it all day.' We are so glad to have such nice neighbors!
Good neighbours are a blessing, we have been in our house for nearly 16 years now and have had some fantastic ones and some real shockers. Luckily at the moment we have a lovely young family who look like staying :-)
