How to get to know the neighbours

Suzanne at work has spent 3 weekends painting her front garden fence (luckily finished before last weekend!). One weekend getting the flaky paint off. One painting it with "one coat" paint. Then one painting it again because one coat wasn't really enough. This was for a tiny front garden in front of a house only 13 foot wide.

But she did chat to a lot of neighbours, several of whom she hadn't even spoken to before.

I do get to chat to people when I am in my tiny front garden, but so far only to people I know enough to at least say "hello" to.

One of the advantages of urban, terraced living with small front gardens, and people not always taking the car or, if the are, having to walk to where it is parked.
