New Neighbours.

cola, 2 May, 2011 at 16:20 Posted on Off Topic Posts 0 5

The house nextdoor was sold a few weeks ago and our new neighbours have been in there all weekend, gutting the place etc. OH thinks that it would be a good idea to introduce ourself and send them a house warming card. I'm not too sure about this, does that sound a bit "american sitcom" thing to do that?

    It might be nice to introduce yourselves. Can you happen to be in the line of sight at some point? Rather than make a special trip?

    I really don't want to make a special trip, i thought might come across as being nosey/forced. Catching sight of them i think would be best, its just that our doors are at opposite sides of the house.

    I've never actually knocked on a door to meet the neighbours, but when I first moved in with H he didn't know any neighbours, despite living here a few years. That Christmas I sent cards to all the neighbours. Now we know the names of most of them, and talk to some in the street and over garden fences.

    I'd pop across and say hello

    When we moved here, our neighbours just popped their heads over the fence and said hi and also came round to let us know when bin day was etc. I really appreciated it.

    I would pop round. They're probably debating doing the same. If it was me, I'd find it really welcoming.
