Try to Help your Neighbours out @ this difficult time
When we last had the snow, i went down the street to an elderly sister couple & asked them if they needed anything. One shopping list later & a trip to Waitrose and back, left them very happy. Going to do the same tomorrow.
Disabled/Pensioners are so grateful for that little help in these conditions
Would be great if we could all do our bit :-) -
