We are going to be moving house in a couple of months, we’re moving to a barn conversion which has been split into eight houses, but we are all really in the middle of empty countryside, so I am keen to make a good first impression on our neighbours!

What experiences have you had of new neighbours introducing themselves, good or bad? We are living in the UK but are originally from New Zealand, so I was thinking about getting some nice NZ wine to offer each house as we introduce ourselves.

show up with a bottle of NZ wine and ask "where can i graze my sheep?’. that will be a good starter.
