Neville Ashdown
Neville lives at number 20 with Biscuit, a Jack Russell who thinks our garden is a second territory. Retired postman, widower. He knew everybody's handwriting in Alderwick for forty years, including my dad's. He talks to me over the fence about sweet peas and the council.
What he's shared about Neville
I turned up to my own surprise party carrying tools. Everyone found that very funny. It's in character, I'll grant them.
Jonah lured me to my own party with a fake jammed paddle. I turned up with a windlass. Mira's cake had a swing bridge that actually swung. Elias drew me a card. It's in my desk drawer at work.
