Hi-dilly-ho, neighborinos!

aka So that's where the football went...
aka Where the F*#k did that house come from...

So, the neighbours had let the trees get a bit overgrown, and we've cut them back on our side and on top a couple of times. But their kids have decided to take it all out - and in the process, regain about 12 ft of garden. To be fair, they had looked at topping and thinning, but because they'd been let go, there was almost no live growth - other than the ivy - in the bottom 8ft.

The view is looking SSE, so it'll be interesting to see how much sun there is - if we ever get a summer!
