It’s not like in the old movies, is it? You know what I mean… in those old black and white movies when someone moves into a neighbourhood the friendly residents appear at their door with cookies or a casserole. There’s always some kindly soul perfectly happy to devote their morning to baking up a storm to welcome you into the area. It’s all smiles and sunshine.

In reality, turning up unannounced at a stranger’s door with a tray of food these days might get you a reputation as slightly peculiar. It’s sad isn’t it? It might say ‘Welcome’ on the doormat, but will your presence and offerings really be well received?
It used to be that neighbours could borrow a carton of milk, a handful of teabags or a cup of sugar and were given to chatting over the garden fence. Nowadays we live much more insular lives.
Do you know your nearest neighbours by name? Do you socialise? Many people don’t see those who live close to them from one month to the next.
That’s why www.neighbourblog.com really has a place and a job to do today. It’s somewhere you can go to meet up with people from your area.
All you have to do is register, log in and say hi. No need to bake anything or knock on anyone’s door! Yet!
