    Sharing it out

    After the family barbecue we had yesterday that was about three-quarters of a large cheesecake left over. I had popped it back in the fridge for DIL1 to take home (we'd shared the catering) but we both forgot it. So this morning I took it over to DIL2's, knowing she loved cheesecake, but also knowing there was far too much for her to eat. At least it wouldn't all go to waste.

    Anyway, DIL2 has tonight portioned it up and taken generous slices round to the lady next door who is yet again taking care of her troubled teenage grandson, the lady at the end of the road who isn't very well and needs cheering up, and two friends who she knows never have the money for luxuries like that. And there's still enough for her to have a slice today and tomorrow. Isn't she a lovely DIL!

      Very thoughtful and caring. Probably cheered up all of these people having an unexpected treat.

                My mums next door neighbours are a couple in their late 30s with 2 boys. Every so often the women brings round a massive plated Sunday lunch (easily enough for 2 meals for mum) or some dessert.Always a surprise, and always most welcome, your DILs neighbours would be just as happy Daisy

                      Gem - what lovely neighbours your mum has.

                      I'm sure there are lots more stories us grannies can tell about people doing nice, kind things like that, too.

                        She is indeed a lovely DIL, Daisy. How reassuring to read this in all the turmoil around us these days. X

                          What a lovely gesture and a surprise treat for everyone,during the colder months I always plate of scouse or bowl of homemade soup for my older neighbours it happens quite often really because I just haven't gotten myself into the habit of making smaller amounts for just the two of us,I sometimes think I am still catering for an army.lol.

                            A lovely gesture - isn't it nice to read about nice things happening for a change!

                              Glamm - that's kind of you, and I'm sure it's hugely welcomed by your elderly neighbours.

                              Avo - we hear so much of the bad things, I thought it would be nice to share a good deed with our group.
