"When there was no answer when we rang your front door bell,
We thought we might have to break your front door down.
And then we decided to try the gate to the garden.
The gate was shut.
So we tried the last resort:
the next door neighbour's property.

And here you are!"
My mind raced over what might have happened.
And then it hit me.
I had been talking with my daughter over the phone.
We hit a lull in the conversation.
My mind began to wander and then............
