I hope those of you who have moved into this area have not been frightened of by our friendliness, and have got to know your neighbours...you see we don’t bite. I feel that we are here for one another, a community, helping one anoth- er, each with our own good points and bad points. You can close the door to your world or open in up and live in it.
