Couple fell in love after meeting on Nextdoor - after 40 years of being neighbours but never bumping into each other

A couple fell in love after meeting on Nextdoor - after 40 years of being neighbours but never meeting. Chris Place, 44, went on the hyperlocal social networking service to look for bargains and spotted Michelle Tooby, 42.

He loved her pic so sent a 'wave' notification - and was delighted when she popped one back. After two weeks of chatting online they went on a date and realised that, while they had never met, they had a lot in common.

They hung out in the same park as kids, had children at the same schools and had never lived more than a few minutes away from each other in Mansfield. Seven months on from their first message, the pair are an item - spending half of each week together.
