A typically cosy green neighbourhood

Everyone smiles at each other, but many small children are starting to arrive who make a racket.

Cosy neighbourhood with sociable people.

The neighbourhood is very cosy, but some people do cause nuisance. There are plenty of amenities. But I do miss a station. Luckily there is a bus stop.
