Apology accepted :-)

I was showing a visiter my patio'd back garden yesterday evening and noticed some fresh clumps of grass lying on some patio slabs. An unknown neighbour had decided to toss some of their garden over the wall into mine.. tut tut. By the size of the clumps it was almost certainly by little kids.

Anyway, few hours later I was watching the football when two letters arrived through the letter box. I opened them up and there was a card in each, addressed as 'Dear Sir' neatly hand written by young children apologising as the culprits and promising not to do it again.

What a nice gesture and taking responsibility at such a young age.

I imagine the victims of those recent muggings will be receiving similar letters...

They obviously have caring and responsible parents, nice to have such pleasant neighbours.

In my day they'd have done this face to face

I don't know for certain which garden it came from, or the number of the house as it's a street that back's onto mine, and neither do I know all the neighbours on that side, so the answer is no.

Oh their nanny. I wonder if she is looking for work. It is so difficult to find good help (sigh).
