Yesterday we bumped into the neighbour in town - she of the broken fence. She rapidly and gushingly told us how they were going to get the fence replaced with a whole new one. Obviously our nudity has not caused a problem but, as predicted, it has spurred them into action.

Meanwhile he of the broken fence is doing some maintenance on the trees in his garden which essentially means he is chopping down his laurel. I'm not too bothered about that as it provides me with no screening whatsoever. But, he has also leaned over his boundary fence into the cemetery and had a go at a tree there which was just starting to give me some cover from the view of another house higher and behind ours. I'm not sure what he has got against that tree, especially as he knows that it has provided cover for me, but he has done this before.

This could be a good time to plant a tree of my own. I had hoped not to but I think that I would like the privacy that it would bring.
