Neighbours, Everybody Needs Good Neighbours...

 We got to speak- for the first time- to our neighbour on the left hand side. She's a widow woman with (her description) a "grumpy" middle-aged son and she told us things about our other neighbours that we hadn't known. The property at the back of our garden belongs to another widow woman with two middle-aged sons- possibly grumpy and possibly not- while the neighbours on our right-hand side- who we've always found perfectly agreeable- are to be "avoided' because they're "unfriendly" and he has a conviction for GBH. Good grief!

She also gave us an account of the people who lived in this house before us that flatly contradicts what we were told by a previous informant. So who to believe? Who indeed...

A number of our neighbours have dogs. There was one of them barking up a storm yesterday evening. Eventually the others joined in. Part way through the palaver we heard a hoarse female voice at full stretch yell, "Shut your fucking dog up!" It had no effect. We think the dog's owners must have locked it out in the garden while they went off site and it was asking to be let back in...

At my previous house, my neighbor described how the shed I could see from my driveway in another neighbor's yard, that other neighbor had stolen from now-my yard when the then-owners were away.
