As far as the neighbourhood kids are concerned, the new house is Pippi's place in real life.
No furniture, the adults aren't worried about dirt or water, a garden overgrown and mad, water everywhere and it is all a little dusty and musty and kids fort-y....
Half the neighbourhood and their cousins were there today.....I ended up just hanging out semi-supervising....they ranged in age from 2 to 18...honestly.
The group is now somewhat divided by gender...the girls are all up here hanging their dolls off the balcony at the boys and dressing up in horrifying Halloween masks and leering at the boys.
We are debating bathrooms in the new house. There is a possibility that the only shower may be downstairs, the exit would be in full view of the street when the windows are open, which would mean that we would all have to skitter around the corner as fast as we could in our towels everytime we had a shower...and then if we had guests over....
We may have to come up with another solution.
Maybe all the local kids can think of something. I'm taking them all up in the mountain in a bit....them, the dog and their dolls. A fun Sunday.

Your village sounds like one big family. I hope Chuck is invited in the group up the mountain, sounds like his kind of day!
Yeah, one big family...disfunctional in spots too of course...he came to the mountains of course, they wanted him too as well....they lobbed pinecones for him and all was wonderful. We picked pomegranites, persimonnes and figs on the way up and down as well....mmmmmm.
So, if it is Villa Villekulla, have they thought of where to park the horse!? ;-)
If you have the money, some major bathroom re-arranging might be called for. Your neighbors seem friendly and all, but they don't need to get a free show whenever the weather is nice and you open a window!!
