Helen,
I don't have the neighbour problem as I no longer have to consider my wife . It's still a mixed bag for me , my neighbours are still friendly but two out of the three will only speak when I'm in male mode . The lady on my left is a sweetie , we chat for hours . The surrounding neighbourhood obvioulsy know as I come and go and they see me gardening . What they choose to say about me is up to them but most will give me a wave as they drive by , I'm not going to deny my happiness for the odd stray comment .
