Neighbours

We had fantastic neighbours in Wales, as well as lots of friends nearby, who I could rely on for almost anything if I needed it. So it's reassuring that in less than two weeks almost all of our neighbours have knocked on the door or come over to us in the street to introduce themselves. I already have several sheets of paper with names, addresses and phone numbers attached to my fridge; offers of help, anything we need, and so on. Everyone is very friendly. One of the neighbours said "we are a front yard neighbourhood, when it gets cooler, everyone is out front" and there was talk of a bring-a-dish street gathering sometime in October, that's what they do here. David has already introduced himself to a nine-year old boy who lives three houses up and whose parents, bizarrely, lived in Penarth for a year, many years ago, whilst there is a 6 year old boy just around the corner who both Evan and David have palled up with. It's a promising start.

We're liking the neighbours, these were delicious!
