Moving to village and making friends

[Lochnessgiraffe]

We're moving to a village in a couple of weeks and ideally we'd like to make friends. We have teenagers and wfh.
Dh is thinking of starting a dog walking group. And I'm stuck how would you go about making friends?

These are my recommendations based on what other people have done when moving to the village-

• Park your car half on the kerb and half on the road right by the village green and block the pavement.
• When leaving the village by car accelerate to 60mph before you reach the 30mph sign.
• Make sure you take plenty of bread, quiche, broccoli stalks and grass cuttings on a walk in case you come across any horses.
• In mid-April when the local farmer cleans out his cattle barn, when the locality smells for a maximum of 72 hours, start a petition on Change.org to have him closed down and the cattle sent away.
• Buy a second hand Landrover a stick a sign saying "One Life - Live It!" in the back window.
• Send complaints to the Parish council that the roads are too muddy after it rains.
• Talk to locals very slowly when discussing anything such as politics or world affairs - remember these are simple folk and talking too eloquently may frighten them and make them feel insecure.
