Katherine Mortimer’s article on Halloween, play dates and technology resonated with our family of five.
We love our East Hill neighbours and neighbourhood.
We don’t love the fear part of Halloween, but really enjoy a night to see our neighbours.
The other day, we were talking about the highlights from the summer. One of our favourite nights was the Sunday night East Hill was without power. After bath time, we went out walking as a family.
We saw families out walking and biking as well as neighbours on their front steps talking.
Perhaps nights without power and going door-to-door to visit neighbours should become regular Vernon occurrences?
