Dear Jane,

Hi. How are you? I hope you are well. Sorry it’s been so long since I’ve written. What I love about my new house and neighbourhood! The neighbours are fantastic too, and I’ve made friends with some of them already. A young woman called Kate lives next door, who is very nice and friendly. She also walks my dog for me from time to time, too. I really like her a lot and we often go out to the cinema or for a coffee together. Mrs Green, who lives across the road, is really nice. She watches my house in the evenings when I’m out and in return I do a bit of shopping for her or some other small errands.

It’s completely different from where I used to live. Where the kids next door would drop litter on the street and play loud music late at night. No one was friendly there. My old neighbours would peep at me from behind their curtains. If I had known how much better things could be, I would have moved house a lot sooner!

I really love it here. I’m so glad I moved. How are things with you? Write back soon and tell me all your news. Perhaps you can come for a visit some time.

Love,
Paula
