Moving or just moved to a new area? The housewarming is one of the last remaining British institutions which allows people to get to know their neighbours in an unforced fashion.
Having moved several times recently, I hope the following guide will be useful to those unsure how to get maximum relational value out of their arrival in a new place. Do this right and, if your experience is anything like mine, within a few weeks you’ll know more about the people in your road than someone who has lived there 20 years.
If you are a vicar in a new parish, read ‘parishioners’ for ‘neighbours’. This isn’t quite Baxter, but it’s a start.
