It sounds as though you have had some interesting neighbours. Tolerance is definitely key, and I knew when my neighbours teenagers 'enjoyed' playing their music loudly that it wouldn't be many years before my own would be following suit!

I must admit...that I "asked" for the right neighbour when next door last changed hands & much to my surprise we had Margaret move in with her two children. We have had the loveliest friendship for the last decade or more & now we have Charlie too our "borrowed" cat : ) Much love Catherine x0x0xCatherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06377061243543771813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4089316062583477747.post-8279558320943539062012-12-08T09:46:59.499+01:002012-12-08T09:46:59.499+01:00Your comment about French neighbours being more di...Your comment about French neighbours being more distant is really interesting- I'd never noticed it before, but we've had similar experiences. I'm glad I wasn't offered lychees...I really don't like them!

We have some wonderful ones now. We share freshly baked goodies, I pass on my daughter's hand-me-downs to the younger neighbor girls, we help each other when heavy things need moving. All in all, the 3 houses close to us are filled with great people who have become good friends. We are thinking of moving next year and it will be hard to say goodbye to our street and good neighbors!Lola Novahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14215529779296867987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4089316062583477747.post-56801692779976821772012-12-06T17:49:56.563+01:002012-12-06T17:49:56.563+01:00Our French neighbours are lovely ( a collection Fr...Our French neighbours are lovely ( a collection French, Dutch, Brazilian,Welsh and English, if truth be known) The French families were full of admiration when we invited everyone round soon after we moved in..... it has cemented some good friendships.

I'd have to yell to the top of my lungs to get any neighbor to hear me let alone see me! Still, what fun it would be to find interesting items on a table next to the fence as you do..Healing Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13654497453272680145noreply@blogger.com
