Unexpected surprise on St Patrick's for this emigrant Irishman,a near neighbour called and told us(over70's) that they will do any shopping we need if we are isolating,and then later two schoolgirl sisters ,(3 doors. down)called with a gift of eggs as they have started to keep chickens.Liverpool..we love you.
