Removing Ivy from Fence and ground
Get the ivy off the fence. It will work its way through the paneling and eventually damage it as well as upsetting your neighbour.

What's your weather like 2026
Mild at 15c today. No wind at all. Not sure if we will get showers. I will just have to use my eyes for a weather check if I go outside.
