A couple fell in love following being neighbors for 40 years but never meeting. Chris Place, 44, first looked up the neighbors’ community group to look for items for sale, but spotted Michelle Tooby, 42. He liked her profile picture, so he sent a waving notification and was very happy when she wrote back. After two weeks of chatting online, they went on a date and realized that although they had never met, they had a lot in common. They played in the same park as children, their children went to the same school and never lived more than a few minutes apart in Mansfield, Notts. Seven months following their first message, the couple feels they have found their soulmate in each other.
