In the community where we live our neighbours until recently have always been related to each other, brothers, sisters etc so at one time everyone local could afford to buy really nice bungalows. As time has gone on unfortunately a lot of them have passed on, they have been replaced once more with lovely neighbours. You can hear a pin drop here and if someone down the road sneezes we all say 'bless you'. Yes we have a lovely parade of little shops, Post Office, hairdressers, fish and chip shop and a mini supermarket. We are very lucky, coupled with the fact that we have a really good bus service.
Would not change it for the world. Long may it stay like it.
