Everybody needs good neighbours.
Especially those whose larders are thinning.
I recently had an infestation of neighbours. At the edge of the swamp is a patch of ground, fairly flat and mostly harmless where some people decided to build a house. Well, that's no problem. Once they hack back the whipweed and the spikebush, assuming they survive that, it'll be a reasonably safe place to live.
However, I have never had neighbours before. Senga has apparently experienced this phenomenon in the past and says I should be nice to them.
I tried. I really did. I invited them round for tea. I showed them around Dume Towers and I showed them the laboratory,
Senga was annoyed at the outcome but that didn't stop her making a very pleasant evening meal of Neighbour Curry. There are some leftovers too.
The house they started is half-built. So it might attract more.
I hope so. Neighbours are very nice indeed.
