Update on the trying to give baking to neighbour saga, I think the new neighbour/s may be vampire/s because they are only there quite late at night and apart from that it seems to be locked up.

If it turns out this is the case, they probably can't eat fresh baking anyway, because it's not blood!

I made "carrot curry" all by myself in the slow cooker yesterday and it turned out surprisingly well and doesn't even taste like you're eating mostly carrots.

In garden news the blackbirds don't seem to be using their usual nest. Not sure what that's about...

Maybe the neighbours are avoiding you?

I guess that's a possibility.

Don't give up just because of my silly comment! I think it's important to build relationships with neighbours, at least to the level of being familiar with each other.

It helps reduce crime! You're basically Batman if you manage to know your neighbours.

Yeah, I agree, I really value good neighbours. Where I live is pretty friendly in general. We were on cat feeding terms with previous neighbours etc.

I'm not going over there or anything like that, just trying to keep an eye out for when (if?) they are home. Might have to settle for leaving some squiggle tops and a card on their doorstep instead.
