*Well you have all been very kind about al my complaints about the snow, thought I would let you know what has been happening today.
My dear friend and next door neighbour Marie has had a very worrying time over Christmas and New Year has her Mum has been very poorly, this mornng she had word from the hospital that her mum had deterioated and had very little time left. Poor Marie was so upset and panicking as there didnt seem to any way she could make it to the hospital as it is around 20 miles away and she couldnt get her car out. Our Neighbours and Harry and little me came to the rescue, working like demons we managed to clear the snow from the driveways and the road upto the main road which was fortunately gritted early this morning. Although it took over two hours Marie was able to get to the hospital to be with her Mum.
So hip hip hooray for good neighbours, hard graft and Team work.
Just a few before and after pictures.

Well done such an effort and sure greatly appreciated - so kind of you been trying desperately to clear ours and front but hard impacted ice underneath and thinking making matters worse without salt or grit.

Good neighbours are a godsend and we are lucky with that where I am. I like to think we too are good neighbours. I do my best. Well done, PansyP for helping your neighbour in her time of need.You certainly put your backs into it. Unfortunately one of our neighbours from where we used to live(she has been our friend for 29 years now) passed away suddenly and I had a shock phone call at lunchtime today from her son in law to inform me. A real shock!

That is what I call community spirit nice to have help and careing unselfish unmaterialistic people around you. Well done to you and Harry and your good neighbours, just hope it does nt make any one ill. Shows how the older men and woman can give the young ones a run for their money :D:D:D
