Can we have a thread with positive neighbour stories?

[Curlyshabtree]

Judging by the number of threads about inconsiderate and CF neighbours it seems that not many of us are fortunate to have good neighbours. I have brilliant neighbours! We live in small inner city street of back to back terraces, it’s quite a transient, deprived area and we’ve seen plenty of life over the years (brothels, weed farms and trap houses). We know all our neighbours, NDN both sides have become really close friends. We look out for on another, put bins out etc. We even bake for each other. We’ve had people from all over the world living in our little street. We work together to sort out the negative issues, it’s great! Surely I am not alone?

My neighbours are lovely on both side. Thank goodness. Reading the threads on here makes it so clear than terrible neighbours could ruin your life.

My neighbour knocked on this afternoon with a homemade cheesecake for me! Such a lovely thing to do!

Our 80+ neighbour is on her own I have made sure I always speak to her when I see her in the garden since lockdown. She is lovely and we have definitely been closer to her since the Pandemic began.
Other side are nice too will stop for a chat and they gave us some tomato plants they had extra.
We all take each others parcel's in etc etc.

The man down the road who is a DJ who has played 80's music every Sunday since March too loudly for 2 hours+ each week can however do one!! :)

Our neighbours are nice.

We're not friends, but we're friendly enough, always say hello, help each other out, drinks at Christmas etc. You could definitely call on them in an emergency. We've all been looking out for each other during the lockdown.

There are no issues with noise/fences/parking/bins etc. etc.

We have lovely neighbours! We have an 18 month old DD, very little support and not many friends (only lived in the area 2 years). Throughout this lockdown we have sat and had drinks with our neighbours, them in their front garden, us in ours. They loan us any DIY stuff we need. Our car alarm kept going off a while ago one night and the guy next door came out and helped us fix it at 10pm. They offer any help they can, and are so friendly.

Similarly we took their kid on sunday when she went unexpectedly and quickly into labour, she was on bedrest for 3 weeks so I batch cooked them dinners twice a week. My DH helped them build a gate in their garden 2 weeks ago.

Good neighbours are gems!

We have lovely neighbours, there are only five houses on our little row but everyone is friendly and considerate. One side keep chickens and leave us eggs outside the door. We chat over the fence to both sides and regularly borrow garden tools. I had a lovely neighbour in my last house too, an elderly lady who was so friendly and warm. She had a little dog that yapped all day (terrace with paper thin walls!) but he was so cute and she was so lovely that we didn't mind. We were sad to leave her and her beloved little dog behind. It's so important to get on with your neighbours, disputes can cause so much stress.

We have the loveliest of neighbours. We're not in each others pockets, but we always said hi over the fence, that sort of thing, prior to the pandemic. At the start of lockdown, I went over while they were out and whacked a bottle of wine on their doorstep, with a note asking them to please tell us if we were bugging them with noise or anything, given that they've got no kids, and we've got two teen girls, and a family of 3 acre paddock voices. That really broke the ice.

Then when my brat of a lardyarsed cat went missing, DH went next door to ask them to check their sheds. Next minute, our neighbour has run off fliers, gone door knocking to all the street, and the next one, and posted up fliers all round the neighbourhood.

The next time she jumped the fence, he leaned over the fence and very quietly told me that she'd just gone under his car - and got treated to the sight of me down on all fours, dragging an extremely aggrieved cat out from under it. He looked most bemused, lol.

We now often ask each other on the way out if there's anything wanted. It's been so nice.

We have lovely neighbours on one side arsehole on the other

We get on really well with them

They borrowed our jet wash until they got their own and my dh spends many an hour sitting outside just chatting to the man as he works on his car.

Ours mow the front lawns for everybody in the corner of our street and are always very friendly. I don't speak to the neighbors on the other side much but they seemed to appreciate us letting them use our WiFi at Easter so they could watch their churches services.

One of my neighbours has been a god send in lockdown . We’ve shared many a bottle of wine in the front garden - them in theirs me in mine. Bottle each just drinking simultaneously. So lovely to have that company and someone to turn to. Whenever I get a food delivery slot I ask all my close neighbours if they need anything added to it.

Yesterday was DD’s birthday, one of our neighbours spotted the decorations and brought her some cake 💕 she obviously couldn’t have a party, so we had a family picnic at the beach, when we came back another neighbour had left sweets and a card for her on our doorstep. I’m not a very social person but my neighbours are amazing people.

We're in a tiny cul-de-sac in London and our neighbours are just the loveliest. Lots have been here since the houses were built in the 60s, we're very recent imports.

I read the neighbour posts on here and can't imagine any of the scenarios happening in our bubble. We even leave our front doors open to the street when we're pottering around the house!

We too leave our front doors open whilst we’ re pottering, love being able to do that.

Our current next door neighbours had just moved in when ds1 was a baby. There was a problem with the water supply in our area and we had no water. All the supermarkets were sold out and I was getting a bit stressed as we were almost out of water and was panicking about how I’d make formula for the baby when there was a knock on the door and the guy had dropped round a 6 pack of 2 litres bottles having driven to a different town to get some for all the neighbours.

We were friends with both sets of neighbours and the ones directly opposite before they moved in. Fortunately we’re still friends a few years on!

My neighbour one side gives me plants and has helped me loads in the garden. The neighbour the other side helped us with some DIY at the weekend. They are both quiet, respectful and kind.

Unfortunately the neighbour at the bottom of my garden is a complete tosser but you can’t have it all can you.
