How did you all get on with your neighbours..? I have a new cake cooling ready to sandwich together as DH tucked into the one I made yesterday..hmm.

Thing is I feel a bit of a twit going over there to offer a homemade cake, especially as I have only spoken to the man of the house and not the woman yet. I keep thinking what if they think I am a bit odd, or shut the door in my face etc...

Did anyone give a cake to a neighbour they actually hadnt spoken to till yesterday?

    You could just say, "I'm taking part in a national Bake a Cake for your Neighbour scheme...so this if for you!"
    How could anyone shut the door in your face when you come bearing cake?
