Do you think she's looking for buried treasure?

She just minced off with her nose pointed to the sky.

We didn't really get on with the last lot. They were awkward to talk to and pretty gammony, moaning about 'lefties' etc. However, apart from one fairly minor incident when they got a dog (which I documented in this thread and resolved in an unexpectedly positive way) they never caused us any real grief and they put up with quite a lot of hassle from us while we were having work done.

I'll take Forest fans if they're not dickheads, KingK! Would make for good (but probably painful) banter.

Normally I'd think to pop round with a bottle of wine to say hello once they've had chance to settle in, but that suddenly seems very old-fashioned. I'd feel tight going round empty-handed, though...

Our neighbours (55-60 years old and lovely) did this for us. Really appreciated and made us feel welcome.

strawberry float knows. Karma got revenge yesterday though and her weekly food shop driver reversed into her prized apple tree and broke it. I felt bad for the tree but considering she had a go at us ages back for our food shopping brushing against it, it was insanely satisfying to see her delivery smash into it.

Dunno, maybe that's just me being paranoid about it, we're back in lockdown in Wales so the idea of just rocking up to someone's door and handing them a gift feels borderline illegal!
