The kindness of people.

that is so lovely Jen. We had similar when we moved here. So when our neighbours left we did the same for the new people. And whilst we speak occasionally but wave over the fence often we never have problems from them and he and my oh have a hedge cutting regime.

When our daughter moved from Somerset back up here her neighbours came out to wish her well and had hoped her boyfriend [now ex!] was leaving and not her.

I do think neighbourliness is back on the increase.

I think you are right Seaburngirl. If I'm honest, I was a little worried how people would treat them as they are a gay couple. While Laura was growing up, she was bullied at school and my ex in laws haven't spoken to her in 16 yrs because she is gay. I know things have changed greatly but I was worried.

It is so nice to have good neighbours and you hope that if you treat them how you would or have been treated like you did then it continues. Sounds like your daughter had nice neighbours and were sorry to see her move.

It restores your faith in human beings, doesn't it?

It's lovely having good neighbours. When a neighbour moved out before Christmas we wondered whether we would be fortunate again. We were !

As Lisam said, it certainly does restore your faith in human beings!

That is absolutely wonderful..restores your faith in people.

I hope they both settle in to their new home and are happy there lovely to here she was offered help from your delivery man Mike and has kind new neighbours . Sad though your ex in laws have nt spoken to her for so long because of her being gay perhaps they should of got a violent criminal or a martyr that killed masses in a war torn country instead they would have cause then not to talk it amazes me how violence is more accepted with some than a couple who loves each other and causes no harm to others sad twisted world we live in Jen...

That's marvellous news Jen - what a wonderful welcome!
Nobody took the least bit of notice when we moved in here.
I hope your daughter and partner will soon feel settled and be very happy in their new house.

Thank you all. As you all say, it really does restores your faith in the kindness of people.

Stera, we didn't get any acknowledgement when we moved in here ?. To the side of us is a shop with a car park at the front of it. The day we moved, the journey took 7 hrs. Arrived at 10 pm. The removal men parked on the shops car park over night so the next day we took over a bottle of wine and chocolates to apologise and introduce ourselves. When last year we put a new fence up, the shop let our builders use their car park again so we paid for a gate to be put up from our fence to their building as a thank you since they had said that was going to be their plan one day. We get on well with them and never had any problems. I won't mention the neighbours behind us lol.

Dawn, Mike is lovely. He has always been so friendly. He even has started to carry dog biscuits for my 2 boys to fed them every time he comes lol.

It is a shame about Laura's grandparents and I have never understood it but I have always told Laura that it is their loss as she is a lovely person and some one that they should be proud of as I am of her.

Awe that is kind of him to give your dogs a treat. Yes defiently her grand parents loss I think it the era they were bought up in where it was looked down upon but life is nt like that any more you can't help what you are born with as its been medically proved their brain is different to the rest of us.

Will PM you Dawn ?

Best wishes from me Jen, and I hope they will be very happy in their new home

Ok Jen.

Thank you Callie, I will pass it on to them. ?

It's so important to have good neighbours. I'm glad your daughter has them.

Thank you Hywel. It makes so much difference having good neighbours.

Thank you for sharing with us this cheering blog. I'm glad that you have good neighbours, & also Laura & partner, as Hywel says , it is so important. There are some very kind, caring people in the world. I have a tale to tell also ( in the near future), watch for it!

Feverfew, talk about cliff-hanger lol. Will be watching out for it ?.the people that own the shop are nice but unfortunately the couple who live behind us aren't. We have had a lot of problems with them. Long and short of it, they pretent they live in middle of nowhere with no neighbours and act accordingly. We are hoping that since they are a young family, that they will sell up and we will get someone nice.
