Firstly she is in her 60s,she use to go to church alot,where as now it is rare that she go to church.Well she loves her cats and dogs the same as we love ours,so when she comes to see me we get chatting about all our pets.I got chatting to her the other day when she came to see me and i was saying that me and my husband love to go to see mediums and well lets just say so do she,so she was saying how many she had seen and where she has seen them.When we go next we will be taking her with us.She is also into craft the same as i am,so more interests that we have in common.

Wow, there are a lot of coincidences there. How wonderful that you have a neighbour with the same interests as yourselves.
I wish that would happen to me.

That's great! It's so rare these days to have neighbours that even talk to one another so good luck with your blossoming friendship.

It sounds like you could be one of the lucky few people in the world that could have a wonderful relationship with your neighbor. I know for us, the neighbors and myself couldn't really have anything less in common. Our neighbors are an older couple with grown children while we have two small children. However, the biggest barrier between ourselves and our next door neighbor is that she is a night shifter and we are awake during the day and like to let our animals outside during the day, she has complained about that many times.

It is really nice for you to have someone who lives nearby that shares many of your same interests. I hope you have a good time as you continue to get to know her better.

It is always nice to reach out to help and befriend the elderly. God Bless you for doing it! I couldn't do it. I just don't have the patience for that kind of thing. Besides, I am kind of a loner. My wife, on the other hand, is a social butterfly. She rarely meets a person who doesn't like her. I have never seen anything like it. She is the prime example of a good friend. I guess she balances out the fact that I am a social misfit. LOL

hehe ^_^ Most elderly are friendly to people around their age. It's easier for them to make friends as they need each other to look out for each other.. hehe ^_^ I guess that's the reason why most neighbours get along well, especially when they realise they have alot of things in common.
Just like my mom, she's in good terms with some neighbours a few storey below us, and they got to know each other via singing sessions.. haha =D From there, they will go out together or be chatting about anything under the sun.. hehe

That is quite interesting. Finding a person with same likes as us could be nice. But what about the dislikes? Did she have common hatreds like you? But, how long this relationship can extend, do you think? Will not you feel boring to meet a person without any conflicts?

It is so nice that you have a neighbor with the same interests as you! Even with the age difference it sounds like you could become close friends. I don't see my neighbors all that often, but when I do they are nice and help me out and sometimes even bring me food. Everyone is soo busy these days that it isn't rare to not see your neighbors. You are lucky that you see her often.

Nothing beats having a nice neighbour who shares the same interest. There won't be any conflicts for sure, and it's a nice way of interacting with each other. Bond is built up over the time, and it foster closer relationships between both families. It's hard to come by and both of u should cherish it well. In your case, if ever u are alone and needs help, your good neighbour is definitely a good help to u too.

What more can you ask for? A new friend who shares many of your interests and is a neighbor.

I know nothing about my neighbours. Or very little. The ones on the right are drinkers and one of them has had a heart attack from the drinking twice lol
The other is an old man that seems very alone as I don't ever see anyone come and go from his house. I will see how he is as I've never bothered and feel bad for it..... Although when I see him outside we exchange our hello's but I think that's not enough.

It's true what they say: age is just a number. You should never let age stop you from making a friend.
