On Monday the storm named "Imogen" blew down a tree in our garden taking the wall with it and blocking the road!
The neighbours were fantastic and gathered round and it was soon cut up and stacked neatly away!
We are so lucky, and were shocked to find our insurance will pay to take it away and rebuild the wall.

When I collapsed last Nov due to a subarachnoid haemorrhage (just showing off that I can spell it!) our neighbours came to the first hospital 10 miles away and pressed some money into wife Diane's hand because they knew she would have a long wait and would get hungry etc, as it turned out Diane would spend 48 hours without sleep 35 miles away in Southampton General after my surgery and had come away from our home with nothing.
Thing is some people are marvellous and I feel privileged to know them.
Nice to know when the chips are down.
I wish I was that good.

It is very easy to take a dim view of the world by what we see and hear, but I suspect most people are like the kind neighbours and friends you describe. It's a shame that scum always floats on top though!
