We had it, one posting ago, in Darwin, a cul de sac - no one other than those who lived there or knew there were children everywhere, drive slowly, came down our street. There were 9 houses/ 9 families, a mix of Army, Air Force & Navy, international families too, collectively 22 children. 8 families used the same school so they'd all walk (handy, with the school captain) to school together, it was magic. We mummies would ride on bikes behind them or wind off to preschool, the gym or wherever we needed to be. 7 of the families arrived together & 6 left together, it was so sad, there were tears, we all loved each other so much. It was completely in that 'we're here, but NOT uninivted or over the top' + as it's so outdoorsy, the children were in your garden, NOT your house & you didn't have to feed or water them. All round brilliant. Enjoy ENJOY as we do NOT have that now & with moving to the country next on our agenda, we'll never have it again. All i can say with 4 young children, it was fantastic, right down to the communal 20m slip & slide, love Posieposie blogs Jennie McClellandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07422068499429667636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1187678194891123194.post-25757482596518060842011-09-11T18:56:45.202+08:002011-09-11T18:56:45.202+08:00What a wonderful place to live.

When they returned last week the lady left a bag of lemons and a box of chocolates hanging off our front door with a note saying 'We are home.'. Bless.

Everyone is civil and considerate, but we rarely see each other, everyone just seems too darn busy all the time... I guess we're guilty of the same.<br />In a neighbourhood like yours, you would struggle to ever leave. Nothing wrong with that though, enjoy! :o) xoAll For Lovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13151973819133926868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1187678194891123194.post-78130658135080321362011-09-10T19:07:22.818+08:002011-09-10T19:07:22.818+08:00Sounds like a great street to live in.
