Nice neighbourhood to live in and recently a halogen torch was organised for children. I only notice that many residents, myself included, have little time to get to know each other. I know who my direct neighbours are and that's it. Many people work and then there's little time, speaking for myself due to sports etc. Sometimes I see police here but I don't know why. And I don't want to know either. Sometimes I wonder why a van with Polish licence plates (trailer) has been parked on the street next to us for weeks. I guess there must be a reason.
