Neighbour's birthday today and in response to their e-card we received a sunny "we've got coffee and cake - see you later?" email which sounded like a good way to pass an hour or so on a cold winter's Sunday. We arrived to an impromptu gathering of select members of the street, all enjoying coffee from a continuously-replenished cafetiere and cake from a pair of groaning plates, one holding wonderfully moist carrot and walnut and the other a mouth-watering concoction involving apple and baked custard.
Yum! No wonder we love living round here! Sadly, this time next year the guys will probably be settling in to their new home in Portugal, so this spur-of-the-moment mini party could be the last of its kind.

It'll be a little colder on that street after they've gone :(
Sad, yes, but someone will move in and be something else to you.
Our street is not like that. People here don't get together much.
Too bad for us.
