Better neighbours have never existed.
Comedian Susan Calman received a faith-in-humanity-restoring surprise from her neighbours on Wednesday. Living in Glasgow, where a red weather alert has been issued by the Met Office due to a combination of the “Beast from the East” Siberian weather front and Storm Emma, Calman put out a tweet encouraging people to check in on their neighbours.
I have to say the snow in Glasgow is quite something. Stay safe all. Check on your neighbours and anyone who might need assistance. Even if you’ve not said hello before pop round to see if people are ok. I’m hoping my neighbours will throw a bottle of wine over the wall.

People responded pretty positively.
Snow is wonderfully uniting, I’ve met new neighbours today and dog walkers while clearing snow ?

Make it a box of wine; less likely to smash. ??

You’re welcome to come to mine. I panic bought loo roll and a box of wine so we should be ok. ?

Then two hours after the original post, Calman posted this.
This is why I love where I live. My neighbours saw my tweet about needing wine and left a present for us on the garden wall. That’s community spirit that is. We can get through snowmageddon now. What a lovely thing. pic.twitter.com/9NLZ8BOGNp

Now that’s what we call neighbourly.
