I've spoken to one other neighbour and we're reeling. I had some ill health a while ago and when I moved back she [Phyllis] was straight round here wanting to check I'm okay.""She was always telling me off for not looking after the garden and so I've been really making an effort over the last few weeks.

When we're out in the garden together, I'm like 'see I'm putting plants in and making it nice'."She was just lovely."To stay up to date with all the latest news, make sure you sign up for one of.
