Still loving the pond

A robin had a wash in it today then a damsel fly visited. Now my neighbours have moved their outdoor seating up against the fence by my patio doors, I can hear their conversation everywhere in the garden and the house too (oh I miss the ivy!). I turned to google for help on noise insulation in gardens and discovered acoustic fences that absorb sound. I’d have to take out the jasmine I planted less than a year ago but I need to do something. I shall have to broach the subject carefully...
