I talk to my elderly neighbours when they come out of their houses.

An elderly lady leaning on a walking stick as she stands beneath a tree laden with blossom. Right beside her stands a younger woman with her arm wrapped around her and her other hand holding the older lady’s hand. They are both smiling broadly. Text overlaid reads “I talk to my elderly neighbours when they come out of their houses.”

“I talk to my elderly neighbours when they come out of their houses. They are delighted to have a conversation with someone instead of being on their own all the time.”

We love this – spending some time to connect with someone is a huge kindness and is a big positive for everyone involved!
