WHAT ARE WE DOING IN THE GARDEN TODAY - 2021

Clearing up glass. Shed loads of it! Part of the 'charm' of my antique greenhouse is that the panes have been replaced due to breakages etc over time; a lot has also fallen out since falling into disrepair. All this glass is strewn about the estate (site / garden lol) so I'm collecting it up, storing what is usable and binning the rest. Which is a lot.

 

Today i'll be continuing in the greenhouse dividing up some of my plants and tidying up my wall pots again.

 

Unwrapped the Marguerite daisy as the sun come out today. It's looking shabby to say the least but I'm holding back from cutting the scruffy stems off as last year I killed a lovely one I had by cutting it back cleaned and refilled the bird feeders. Playing the game of opening and closing the windows on the greenhouse at the moment and bought 2 packs of Dahlia pink blend

 

More uprooting and transplanting of hedging, general clearing of crud

 

Wow youve been busy out there Shiney. Putting me to shame. However...another greenhouse day today as it's pouring down outside AGAIN.

 

This is the sort of arrogant bad behaviour that makes my blood boil too. Our neighbour is a fencer by trade and whacked up a solid fence while I was at work. This fence has the posts on our land although its only around 6 inches in. Not a lot I could do about it as it was put in with Postcrete etc. This was several years ago and I have since pointed out that the whole fence is in our side and offered to contribute to a new fence on the boundary. Told him my preference is for an open fence as the light comes from the direction of their garden and my plants and lawn is suffering. He has made various excuses for not doing this including his wife is unsure what type of fence she wants. Don't know where to take this now except to a therapist as the situation is bugging me no end.

 

I see we all like the same..good healthy puff pastry and sausage meat...yummy but I am counting the calories....

 

Well these types follow me where ever we go...that is of course only how it seems as other neighbours in our other two homes were mostly kind and considerate.
My daughter has a house still where we lived in Bexhill so know her neighbour Anne who has many cats and a dog so my daughter and Ias animal lovers found it easy to be friendly with her. My daughter keeps the neighbourly attitude neighbours keep as neighbours but when she had the odd party she always invited her. I had been with Anne personally chatting and joking and she seemed fine. Her elderly Father owned the property and Anne when she parted with her Husband got his house to live in.. Around 7 years ago the Father call him A. he spoke with my daughter call her R. about the four parking spacing they had between them and would she swap one of them with Anne's . Thought about it and declined. A. has been a successful business man and no's his onion's apparently. He spoke with this suggestion a few times over the next couple of years and then out of the blue he said that the adjoining fence was not in the correct place and some of the fence was up to 6 inches over his side...He was completely terrible over this, especially as R. was still going through Cancer treatment with the scars of no hair which would speak for itself. No he won the day. They had to dismantle their shed because it was already up against the boundary fence. trailer moved and whatever else..and he arranged for a new fence to be erected. Anne was still speaking to R. at this stage but that did not last and the abuse led R. to inform the Police and contact the Council as well. Last week she had to phone the Police again and so the report is in the frame. R. was back at work after her covid was now negative as R. parked now on the road because the A. had made enquiries about the land and he stated it was all of his even in front of my R. backway.Anne came out of her house screaming at R. saying she had smashed her car up. R. even looked all over it and could see no damage but the abuse has now taken a very dark side. A. is 100% lost her marbles over this. We do know some of her health issues have been in the brain but never would have believed that things would get so bad for R.
Long..sorry for that, almost finished...
The two properties actually have no Planning Permission and for the so called parking land R. does not know as yet who has what. R. has been told that a small part of her front garden next to the pavement is still owned my somebody I think in Canada.Messy business..
