It has been a Day of Bonuses! We had a great walk today with our CV Neighbours ending up with a pub lunch at the Cross Keys in Milngavie. We parked the car at our new abode and tested the system by seeing how long it would take to walk to the bus stop (5 minutes), the shops (another 5 minutes), and the train station (Milngavie Station terminus - another couple of minutes).
But that wasn't the best bit! Two things turned up out of the blue: [1] Adam - our former CV neighbour - is a minute's walk away! He showed us a short-cut through an adjacent lane (or 'snek' as he calls it) which joins our 2 streets. So it is back to sitting in each others back yard!
And last but not least ... [2] we found that we do not back on to another house - they are all the same along the streets both back and front - but rather on to a park! And it has swings and play area for the wee ones!
We introduced ourselves to our new neighbours and the one on the west side showed us how she has a gate which opens on to the swing park; we will be able to have the same. So Grandma and Grandpa are delighted with the Bolt out of the Blue (and are very embarrassed to find that we did not know this fact when we bought the house!)

This is so very nice to be able to be close to a park – you must be very pleased with your discovery
