I only have one neighbour and she is very quiet. i think I have only seen her about 4 times since I moved here about 4 months ago. her cats are very friendly though... they invite themselves into my house when ever I open the door and make themselves at home...... unfortunately for my cat
I get on very well with my neighbours ~ the lady to my left moved in 3 months ago and is super..the family who lived there before were great too, and we still keep in touch.
My neighbours were great when I was a kid, every kid around my road thought my back garden and front garden was a children's public park. Always a great atmosphere to grow up in.
