Good Neighbours

A good neighbour is hopefully someone you can firstly get along with. I’m very lucky to have neighbours like that. We put each others bins out, chat a lot in the summer over the fence or out the front if we see them. Keep an eye on their home when on holiday and water their plants if needed. A good neighbour could also be someone who could help you out in an emergency and take in parcels for you when you’re not in.

One of my previous neighbours would sometimes come round for tea and cake and I would sometimes look after her little grandson. One year their oven broke midway through cooking Christmas dinner so I was able to help out. Luckily their turkey was already cooked so I just had to finish cooking their roast potatoes.

Good neighbours often keep an eye out for elderly people, making sure that they are okay and helping them if they don’t have family living nearby. Good neighbours are hopefully not too noisy. Everyone makes noise and people have social gatherings especially in the summer but some people go beyond that and constantly annoy their neighbours with loud music and late night parties all the time. I feel very lucky where I live for now anyway until they start building 250 homes on the lovely field at the bottom of my back garden and then I may not be happy about neighbours.
