I really enjoy our new neighborhood - when you can pop over to someone's house and say "hello" or meet them in the backyard for a beer (as my husband does with our next door neighbor, an older gentleman), it just enriches the entire atmosphere of the neighborhood.
Isn't that lovely? To be able to head over for a chat (the beer would always be welcome too!) and for it to be casual and the norm. We live in an apartment at the moment and only know our neighbours to say hello to (they have changed numerous times in the years we've been here) but that's apartment living for you. Next year please God we are going to move into our new house - I really hope we have lovely neighbours and get to know each other - kind of like in This Happy Breed - chats over the garden wall or popping in for a cup of tea/glass of wine (or whiskey in the shed for the guys!)....
