Being a Mum is like flying a kite, you never know which way it is going to turn, it can turn really fast and end up crashing. Or it can just float happily and peacefully in one place, or simply sway from side to side

Isn’t it great when you get a good neighbour, when you buy a house you just never know what kind of a neighbour you are going to end up with. You always hope that they are going to be nice, but you just never know.

We were fortunate to have a lovely neighbour buy the house next door, and we have chatted and caught up since they moved in. Now that we have sold and are moving on it will be sad to leave the neighbours behind.

She is a lovely lady and has been a gem to me and my family, when she found out we were selling, of course she was sad to hear we were moving but she has been extremely helpful. I never asked for her help but she has been so kind to help me with the gardening and cleaning up the house.

The day before our open house she was here cleaning all the windows and the outside of the house for us.  Then she let us borrow her cushions from her lounge to make our lounge look finished for the open houses. Where can you find a neighbour like that.

Yesterday she was really kind and thoughtful and bought me a small bunch of gardenias that she had picked, I just thought that was so sweet of her.

Just really kind and helpful.

I hope that our new neighbours at our new house are just as nice.

Do you have a lovely neighbour? Have you ever met your neighbour?

    That makes me homesick for my wonderful neighbors at my last house. They were the best friends! Moving is hard. I hope you find some great people at your new house.

    We’re moving this weekend and I have my fingers crossed for really wonderful neighbors! I had a mixed experience with the lady next door in the townhouse we lived in - here in the apartment complex I know no one.

    I hope your new neighborhood is filled with wonderful people!

    Good neighbors can make a neighborhood great. We’ve been fortunate to have lived in two great neighborhoods.
    Good luck to you!
