We have quiet neighbours, quite perfect in fact. We live next door to the
churchyard. ;-)

And we live next door to the church ;-)
The priest is a perfect gentleman, but the congregation can be a bit
noisy! Bur gardening to music is nice :-)

When we lived in Leicester we lived next door to a small church. Very
active. Cubs, Guides, Boys Brigade, W.I., you name it they were there
:-))

Only problem was that these 'side' activities used the side door. This
side door was our side :-(( This side door had a 'closing device' which
meant that when anyone went through it, they didn't bother to close it
:-(( Why bother? Cubs, through the door BANG. More Cubs through the door
BANG. Guides the next night, through the door BANG, more Guides, BANG.
Next night W.I. BANG, next night choir practice , guess what ;-) yes
BANG and each night they didn't all arrive and leave together, so the
banging went on from say 6.00 pm to about 9.0 - 9.30.

I went and had a very quiet word with the Vicar/Padre/Chaplain whatever
he was.

A note must have been passed to all clubs etc and the self closing
device was taken off :-))

No more trouble and even apologies from them for not even thinking about
it!!

It pays to talk nicely to your neighbours :-))
