It’s often said that where you buy a home is all about location, location, location.
And I agree.
But the neighbours are a big part of that detail too.
Good neighbours are good, great neighbours are great.
And so it was on a recent Friday evening that I dined alfresco with my great neighbours at our annual Laneway Party.
(A laneway being the lane at the back of houses shared between 2 adjacent streets providing each neighbour access to their parking/garage/backyard.)
There was a meet and greet for all ages,
Entertainment for the kids – a piñata stuffed full of candy,
Metro’s finest on horseback visited (entertainment for the adults!)
The table was set with white linen and real utensils – no plastic here.
Platters of food, candlelight and plenty of wine kept the revellers going into the night,
Plus it helped that the kids were occupied with movies in ‘Bill’s Man Cave’. Remember Bill (& his lovely wife)?
A head count was done around the table and 53 neighbours were seated for dinner!
These 2 ‘party planners’ were pleased! Thanks to all who helped to make the party a great success!
All in all a fabulous evening shared with my ‘great’ neighbours making my home’s location the best!

This was well done. Our Court did not have the white linens but we had lots of food and fun.
So wonderful to see a positive neighbourhood story in the city, instead of all the bad stuff that makes the news. Very inspiring and fun, too, by the looks of it!
