Introducing yourself to new neighbours

We haven’t quite moved into our new house yet (work going on), but have had the house since end of October. I was hoping on my odd visits I’d catch the new neighbours and wave/quick hi, but unfortunately that hasn’t happened. I’m feeling really anxious about moving (but that’s for another thread).
So tonight I’ve been thinking, would it be strange to pop a little card through the letterbox. A quick intro (e.g. we’re mr and mrs x moving into y)?
Or should I leave the idea, and hope once lockdowns are over, weather is better I’ll probably see them more and get to know them anyway?

I’ve always been used to the idea of knocking with a box of chocolates to say hi (my parents did that when we would move), but with Covid I wouldn’t want to do that anyway.

Sorry for the ramble, Blush

If the new neighbour put a periodic table or an excel spreadsheet of bus timetables through my letterbox ..I’d think geek If they sent me a hi I’ve just moved in introductory card, I’d be delighted
🤣🤣🤣

I think a card is a nice though, friendly and neighbourly. That's what we will do when we move next year.

That’s a lovely idea. Some new neighbours once knocked on every door in the road to introduce themselves and handed over a card a box of chocolates, it was lovely but everyone did find it a little OTT but that was just because nobody had ever done this before.
A card through the door is perfect.
