My neighbours' overgrown house

Yes, she came yesterday about 5ish.
I felt that anything I said slid off. - i.e. I don't think she believes me. She commented that it must have been the weather.

The wind somehow managed to blow it from the opposite direction?

Thanks soop.
Have council woman probably coming tomorrow to inspect damaged shed.

Well done, AlieO you have earned our respect.

I should have said, also very glad of the support on the way!

Gardener agrees on the damage.

I'm very glad of the record on this thread now, as I can refer to it when I complain. I know just which days they were cutting the big tree.

Hoping for a few minutes sun for photos, but looks like it may not happen....

The aftermath.....
The clearing of the large stump on Friday has resulted in some more damage to my shed, which is now leaning forward to the extent that one of the (plastic) windows has popped out.
It must have had some pressure on the back - but I didn't see any of this happen, the stump had gone when I looked.

i will tell the council - and the councillor!
Waiting for my gardener, who will back me up on when this happened.....
Will take pics.

This is like our own mini soap opera - did you take before and after photo's Alie? I do hope so - you could put them om the pictures thread if you didn't want them on your profile page.

They weren't very noisy. They cleared up for about three hours and then cleared off. Have they finished? Watch this space.....

Thought noone would come until Monday, then they arrived about 10.30....if they get noisy I think I may go to the library for a while

Yes, I nearly put that in too! Love it.

Less Flanders and Swann and more like Right Said Fred then Alie?Hope they don't damage any more of your property.

Ha-ha! I remember this one from ages ago.
So far they have only bashed the end of my shed roof and the batten is off...and fractured a (very old) panel we put up in a gap in the hedge....

I will have to buy fence panels.
The dead car is still in the front garden.
Not yet here today.

Your delays remind me of Flanders and Swann, Alie the Gas Man Cometh

I hope there is some action there today.

No workman yet....now again I don't know what's happening.

I posted that as I thought the thing would go out - but it decided to burn after all - maybe it got drier - and went on until about 4pm, getting rid of a whole lot of branches.
I haven't dared have one for three years because I thought next door was a serious fire risk......!

Any wood anywhere is sodden at the moment. It tipped down on Friday night

Hi folks. No workmen her today yet. Have been trying to have a bonfire but I think the wood is wet still...

I worked it out Icy!

Opposite of 'unkempt'!! Since that was what your neighbours' garden was.....

This only had one, which is still there - hoping it goes too!
I am very glad the largest tree is gone, for several years I have worried about it falling.

I did have my house valued but they said it would be very difficult to sell. But next door is now revealed and looking pretty decrepit.....

Hope things look better in the garden next door Alie? I have a friend with the same problem, just hope she never needs to move house, as buyers wouldn't look at her house with the state of next door.saw a tv programme last year, looking at the work done on similar houses, one garden had about 7 different vans and cars completely buried in the long weeds and overgrown shrubs, unbelievable!

Thank you, Icy and Soutra - Nellie too.

'Kempt' is an unusual word! I just received nicotiana seeds with gardening mag too.
Peaceful again.

AlieOxon sending you some . Beautifully kempt and scented, from a well-ordered, proper garden. Relax and breathe.

Peaceful today. Whew.
Waiting for a grandson to arrive - sometime!
