........In the middle of last year our next door neighbours started to have a really good sort out. They aren't getting any younger like us so they did away with the greenhouse and huge garden shed which had everything imaginable in there. They also got rid of a load of stuff out of the house. At the time I said to Cliff it looks like they are getting ready to flit.
We have lived next door to Clive and Jackie for 20 years and although I'm not a person that goes into their house to cal I have spent many an hour chatting over the fence. Jackie is a funnyosity she hates the garden and would never sit out. Clive's the doting husband that runs about after her and makes all the meals. Some gorgeous smells came from their kitchen LOL.
At Christmas Clive fell down the stairs and shattered his heel bone and it looks like he will be lucky if he walks again. Cliff and our Richard have been keeping the garden tidy for them cutting the lawn etc. It's funny but the gorgeous smells from their kitchen have stopped as Jackie hasn't a clue how to cook or so she says.
Anyway yesterday she calls me over to the fence and tells me they are moving into a council bungalow in the next village. It wasn't a surprise but to live next door to someone for 20 years and to be told that they are moving in 4 DAYS!!!!! Well I ask you.
There aren't many houses on our avenue that are still council owned but theirs is one of them.
Christ we may end up with a family of foreigners or worse next door.!!!!!!!!!!

I just hope that you get a decent family move in hun - you are such a settled little community it would be disastrous to get people who didn't fit in move in
