Oh I'm sorry you are feeling a bit left out and not invited to your neighbours party. Maybe it's because you don't normally live there and spend most of your time in France. I think a couple of other people on this thread have said maybe you could invite them round..that might be an ice breaker and you may make some nice friends. I'm sure they would feel upset that they have made you feel left out as I'm sure that's not what they wanted...it's just maybe they are closer friends with the other people in the hamlet because they live there all the time. ?
warped cutting mat - any solutions?
