Noisy neighbours

It's a bit of a coincidence but I have just been driven back into the house because of the piercing screams of my neighbours' three children. I think they may have the paddling pool out. I like to hear happy children but this was over the top. I had hoped they would be a bit quieter this summer.

It's posts like these that make me feel better about living in a rural place! I generally don't like the lack of people and amenities but it IS peaceful! ?

My dog barks but we are quick to tell him to stop, and he usually does except when he doesn't and then he is brought I doors.

The trouble with him is everything is such joy and excitment. There are birds and cats to chase, mice and frogs to hunt, paper delivery, post delivery, the milk man, visitors and not to mention other dogs walking Along the road. It isn't as bad as it sounds as 99% of the time he is quiet, but those are the triggers.

Seriously though we have suffered noisy neighbours over the years and what I will say is nothing stays the same it will change. But that is no compensation at the time. At the moment we are blessed with quiet ones after some horrendous periods of alcoholism and the accompanying noise and partners that fought like cat and dog.
