I'd be tempted to shout up to them next time...can I help you?!

I'd give them a wave next time blue60 . Let them know you've seen them. What do you get up to in your garden that's so interesting?

We are friendly with our next door neighbours who are a few years younger than us, but over the past few months their behaviour has come to my notice.

During the summer, I was sitting in the conservatory alone and enjoying the sunshine. It was so bright I was wearing sunglasses.

Sitting there, I heard a creak from next door's bathroom window opening. As I was already facing in that direction, I only lifted my eyes and saw Babs (not her real name) peeping down at me through the narrow opening. I sat quite still and showed no sign of seeing her, and I guess she didn't know I was aware of her watching me due to the sunglasses which hid the direction of my eyes.

Anyway, a few weeks later my sister and mum arrived for a visit. Mum sat with DH chatting on the patio, while I took sis around the garden. While we were chatting, I was utterly amazed to see Trevor (not his real name either) straining to see through the bathroom window who was in the garden. Because he couldn't see, he went to a bedroom window, and then back again to the bathroom window. He couldn't see me as I was behind some dense shrubs

How bizarre! I have never noticed them doing this before and now feel as if we are under surveillance and wonder how many times they've done this! I just feel annoyed with them.

Anyone else get this?
