In addition to the lovely neighbours mentioned in an earlier post, I have now also met Phyllis and Philip, from further up Greencliffe Drive and Janet from across the road. Phyllis and Philip I met at Beningbrough Hall where we got into conversation entirely without knowing that we lived in the same street. It was one of those 'do you by any chance live in... and are you by any chance...?' And I was! And we got to know each other better over tea at their home. Janet appeared on a drizzly morning and, over another cup of tea, talked about living in Whitby and gave me good ideas about walking places on the Yorkshire moors and in the dales. All the people I have met have shared their stories with warmth and generosity.
This is one of the pleasures of 'living in' as opposed to 'passing through'. The most similar of my experiences in this sense would be living in Kibbutz Gal'ed in Israel.
