    Glad she's ok. And you're right to say its not just the elderly who need a watchful eye this time of year when the pavements are so slippy. Anyone can fall and hurt themselves and as a result be frightened to go out. I speak from experience having slipped over several times some years ago and hurt myself so badly I don't go out just in case it happens again. Luckily OH is at home at the moment and I know I can always ring a neighbour if he wasn't and I needed something.

    Good to know there are some caring folk around and your story restored a bit of faith in humanity. Bless you

    I'm creative -you can't expect me to be neat too !

    Well done you. I bet her family and your elderly neighbour were so touched to see how much you cared and that you had noticed a change in her routine.
