Very generous neighbours!
A week ago, I embarked on some gardening. The conifer bushes that border my back garden were getting a bit shaggy, I thought I would offer to do my neighbours side while I was at it. They were happy I had offered.
After I finished cutting their hedge we had a bit of a chin wag, I'm still getting to know them as we've only been living here a year, they told me their plans for their garden and that they were planning to throw away some stuff whilst pointing towards some toolboxes. They had had these toolboxes under a plastic sheet for a while after having their garage part converted into an office leaving no room for the toolboxes, I kindly offered to take them off their hands and they agreed.
The guy used to own an engineering firm when he lived in Australia, these toolboxes have been on a trip!
Anyway, enough Jibba jabba, here's a quick pic.
They are of very high quality made by a company called Huni, based in Spain.
I'm over the moon, I'm thinking about putting some money in a thank you card but my girlfriend thinks it might be awkward, what do you think?
He also left a load of tools in there including a moore and wright micrometer, the contents alone would fetch over £100 on ebay, he said the chests cost £500 per unit!
I need to organise my tools into them so excuse the mess!
Love thy neighbour!

How nice of them!
A thank you card, yes, but don't put money in it, or they might wonder if they've given something valuable away, which could certainly lead to awkwardness in the future.
