I wanted to see what the responses were. My first thought would have been to call and worry about what others thought later.

Food, surroundings and of course, company, will all deserve exclamations of delight. <br />Your neighbours might also deserve some commendation. But making excessive noises at night is not neighbourly. In fact the noises you heard were downright worrying.<br />A good neighbour such as yourself should call out and ask for a response. What you call out, I leave up to you to decide because you are there and know how you feel.<br />The response to your call will help you decide what further steps to take.<br />I believe some sort of response is always justified when there is any doubt about another's safety.<br />Am I being to serious here? Is there something in your story I have missed?<br />Cheers anyway, GillianGillianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13664987657318776594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4571340508841427418.post-66198997738196717112013-08-11T08:56:03.217-07:002013-08-11T08:56:03.217-07:00I am love in love with your surroundings ....

Firstly, I must thank you for your...My dear Helen,<br /><br />Firstly, I must thank you for your kind and beautiful words about my blog and introducing me to your wonderfully artistic and vivacious readers. You've always been the most thoughtful and supportive reader and I cherish your friendship over the years. We have so much in common. I love that recipe by Dirk Bogarde too. It's tried and tested and people love that dish whenever I cooked and they always ask me for a recipe. I tell them all where I found it.<br /><br />Oh my dear, the sound of teenagers on the roof is too nail-biting for me. I would like to know what you decide to do. It is a hard one to decide though. Either one has to step in as a good Samaritan or call the police. I remember once going around to my neighbours house in the middle of the night in my dressing gown to ask them politely to be quiet. The next day, they dropped a card in my letter-box to say how contrite they were about the previous night. Apparently, they were celebrating their victory at the rugby match!! I'm most impressed with "E's" artworks and your dinner table setting looks so elegant. The plates are absolutely gorgeous! <br /><br />Best wishes, ASDA Super Dilettantehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02640893790909916004noreply@blogger.com
