We do actually have some nice immediate neighbours that we enjoy a chat with. They are the ones that have been in the street for some time.<br />Enjoy your posts even though I might comment.

We also had all that nice stuff happening in the early years. Only last night when I arrived home from work, the neighbour only 3 doors up walked by without a hello or a simple smile.

Many multi-level apartments are being built in Mentone. <br />You must fight and fight and fight in the local council to get that stopped. Get councillors on side. Get local people to sign petititions. Write letters to the local newspaper.<br /><br />2. The sense of community is disappearing. <br />Once every two months, have a backyard party to welcome the neighbours. Let each family take turns in hosting the party. Get each family to bring a plate and a bottle.Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1038987539224858410.post-48636422029042114592013-09-27T07:44:21.666+10:002013-09-27T07:44:21.666+10:00Maybe it's time to start investigating the alt...Maybe it's time to start investigating the alternatives. You don't have to move immediately, but get out and look around. Maybe you'll find a neighbourhood where people come out to say, "Hullo, are you thinking of buying this house? It's a great house, and a great area." Maybe. But you never know until you look.<br />KKay L.

Thank goodness we are in a hamlet in France where our neighbours are all friends and there is always a hello or an aperitif waiting around the corner. Take care you two.

We joined in everything? we made good friends and got to know the older residents. We've now been here over 30 years, know fewer people and spend most holidays away in France. Our nest is empty and we are rattling around in a home that is far too big for us. I think the time might have come for us to move on... But to where?GaynorBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12971753467966206018noreply@blogger.com
