Love Your Neighbour

[poliphilo]

 Damian the builder rings Ailz early morning to say he's at the house of the mother of his next door neighbour (for whom he's doing some carpentry) and he's found her on the floor and would I run across the road and tell the guy because Damian has our number and not his. It takes me a moment or two to work out exactly what's going on and exactly what I'm supposed to be doing- and then I do it. 

I like being a neighbour and part of a network of neighbourliness. We had a bit of this going on in Oldham but nothing like we have here...

I think neighbourliness is the future. Small tight communities, increasingly self-sufficient. You want to change the world? The best place to start is where you live...
