What the Neighbours Write
Real words from real people. We asked them what they'd put on a postcard about Bertha Park.
We moved up from Edinburgh in March. I was nervous about starting over. Within a fortnight, I knew our neighbours' names, their dogs' names, and their opinions on the best shortcut to the school. This place looked after us.
The loch in winter. That's all I'll say. Well — and the fact that you can be in central Perth in ten minutes. And the school is genuinely excellent. Fine, there's quite a lot to say about it.
I run the community WhatsApp for our street. Someone lost a cat. Someone else found it. Someone offered a spare ladder. Someone baked too much shortbread (there is no such thing, but still). In three days. That's Bertha Park.
Send one yourself.
Got something to share? A story, a suggestion, a Saturday plan? We want to hear it. (The shortbread tip was genuinely useful.)
