We’ve lived in our current house for about 18 mths - just us no DCs.
One side are quiet - the occasional nod & hello.
The other side is a lady who lives on her own.
When we are out in the back we shout over the fence ‘hello neighbour ! How are you ?’
I invited myself round a few weeks ago during the hot weather & took a bottle of wine. A couple of hours but I know she doesn’t see many people .
Last night she knocked on our door with a picture she’d made for us. She’d written
‘ Dear xxxx & xxxx , thank you for being such lovely neighbours ‘
Made my week.
