A cry for help
What wonderful people we have in our neighbourhood. Yesterday I posted a message on the off-chance that I could get some help to change a light bulb, restring a few strands of my washing line and to dig some holes for my new fruit trees.
Amy and Adam from Mapua answered my post and they did all my little jobs as quick as a flash yesterday afternoon. And - Maree and Ray Woodley offered help if I need it in the future.
We must never lose faith in human nature and giving back can be so rewarding. A big thank you - my heart is full when I look out my front door and see the trees planted - they will look superb in the spring!
