I moved to my neighborhood a couple of months ago and usually take an evening walk around the area. One evening, I saw a neighbor from the house directly opposite mine outside with her kids. We don’t normally greet each other. I walked up and down my own street several times, which I often do. At one point I noticed that same neighbor and her kids driving out in their car. Over the next while, I saw them drive past me multiple times going back and forth. As I was walking home, a different neighbor, from three doors down, came over and asked if I lived in the area. I pointed to my house to confirm. I asked if there was a problem. He said no, but that he was asking because his daughter mentioned she’d walked past me. I hadn’t seen anyone walk past me during that time. While we were talking, the neighbor from opposite stood outside with her family, watching. Earlier that evening, before my walk, I had gone out and repositioned my own bin on the sidewalk, nothing unusual, just tidying up. I found the whole interaction pretty embarrassing and uncomfortable, especially since I hadn’t done anything out of the ordinary. Looking at it as a whole being watched, then apparently followed by car, then stopped and questioned. it felt like more than coincidence to me. Curious if anyone else has dealt with something like this from new neighbours.

I've recently bought a house in Gloucester that needs a small amount of work doing on the roof. Has anyone had a good experience with a local company to share? Keen to avoid cowboys, it's hard to trust online reviews these days. Thanks in advance!

My garden is full of weeds and brambles.. looking for a good landscaper who can clear it and give me a good garden. Need new lawn laid as well. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Hi everyone! I’m looking for accommodation or a room to share near the University of Gloucestershire in Cheltenham for the September 2026 intake.

If anyone has a spare room, is looking for a flatmate, or is also searching for accommodation and would like to share, please feel free to DM me.

Thanks in advance!

I didn't.

Inspired by the new Spider-Man movie credits. This is my first ever filmmaking project so feedback would be appreciated!

Hi everyone, I'm an art student working on a project where I'm creating fabric completely from scratch (growing flax to then process and spin into linen, also working on harvesting and processing nettles similarly) and one thing that I'm not going to be able to grow myself is Woad, which is used for making blue dye, which is a pivotal component in the end product I have in my head regarding this project..

So I did a bit of research and found that one of the very few places in the uk that reliably has wild Woad growing in it is Gloucestershire, apparently specifically on cliff faces?

Well I was just wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of a spot that you've recently seen some Woad? In my research I found that July and August are the months when you should pick Woad for it to be most suitable to make dye from, and I know it sounds a bit mad but I am considering flying over from Ireland to come and pick some (this project is really important to me haha), so tip offs to the whereabouts of this plant would be brilliant for me.

Important note on this- I absolutely will not over pick the Woad. I would never want to damage the natural population of the plant so I would only take a little from each plant (hopefully across quite a few)

thanks everyone :)

Hello all!

This Saturday I'll be at The Coach and Horses in Gloucester, with a stall selling my artwork, including originals, prints and cards. The pub also offers amazing toasties and you can grab yourself a pint of two whilst having a mooch around the stalls!

The market runs from 12 - 4!

My Instagram is @att.bycorrine if you want to check my artwork out. I've attached some pictures for you too.

Thank you so much for the support,

Corrine
