On the Move

I'm still working on the Christmas post but in the meantime...I think the people who own the house next door plan to start major renovations this year. I'm not sure I'm ready for that. It's stood empty for almost five years now and soon they'll be here to destroy our peace and quiet. They look as though they have money to burn and I imagine the renos will take forever and the house will be enormous and they'll then move in and all privacy we had will be lost forever. They'll hear me yelling at the children (they don't appear to have any) and they'll start to complain about things and then they'll start to snub us in the drive way...and then I'll start to get a complex about something...Bring back the old neighbours I say.
