    I hadn’t got out of the van before our neighbour came for a chat.  She lives on her own and always talks forever whenever she gets a chance.  It’s great to get on well though. 

    The couple on the other side had a chat with us over the back fence later on moving day, as did the people opposite.   A couple of other neighbours gave us cards or introduced themselves.  We got about ten Christmas cards from people in the street so we must have passed the test!

    What was it someone was saying about us Northerners?

    You have to be prepared for them to answer "yes".

    But i guess anything you say after that (eg we're going to be making a fair bit of noise) is going to be a relief 🤣🤣
