Grrrscreechpullinmyhairoutlostallpatience!
A couple of months ago my neighbour decided it was a good idea to burn off her years of garden waste. The problem was we hadn't had any rain for weeks and she lit the fire and then she just left it! Fast forward thirty minutes and my son had to knock at her door to tell her that not only her overgrown Hawthorn hedge but our adjoining fence was ablaze. Fire Brigade to a further hour to put out the blaze and damp down.
Three weeks later, after promising to replace the fence, the stupid woman did the same thing and again lit the fire and left it.
I am a wheelchair user but my son took me to the bottom of the garden to see the finally renewed fence only to find that she has put all the semi burned waste and grass clippings up against the new fence and because all the shrubs on her side died it is obvious from our side and looks a right mess as well as being bone dry and she obviously hasn't learned her lesson about setting garden fires.
The woman is middle aged, how do you even survive that long being so lacking in common sense?
I thought about putting a hedge in on our side but can't be sure that she won't set fires again. Honestly, it looks a right mess and to add insult to injury she has had a fence panel put in so that she can't see all the mess.
The older I get the less patience I have. Chunter, chunter, grumble.
