    I cant do that - my neighbour has a strange crush on me that he has haboured since childhood - I wouldnt dare bake him a cake - he might take it the wrong way.
    A friendly good morning and a big smile is all he is getting. :)

    I will probably do this if we get the flat we're in for.

    What if I make one for my fellow school governors? I only have one egg though unless the hens squeeze another one out! They are my 'community' neighbours.
    Could make an apple cake with all the windfalls...

    Love this idea! My 91 year old neighbour has been ill recently so would be a lovely thing to do!
    Our days are happier when we give people a bit of our heart rather than a piece of our mind.

    Our neighbour hates us, so would probably think we were trying to poison him!! And old lady other side would invite us into her house that smells of wee and make us tea in her horribly stained cups!!
    I feel our neighbours would be the same.

    We have loads of apples but feel they would reject them if we offered them some.

    So we are mass peeling, freezing and eating masses of apple dishes.
