We bought a derelict property 4yrs ago, spent 2 renovating and have lived inside 2yrs. Still lots of bits to do, garden beds, furnishings etc. The appeal was the fields at the end and the houses either side are a distance away with no windows/no view onto our back patio and bifolds.
1 neighbour had a gardener fortnightly and in autumn, they are both up ladders trimming the bushes on their side. I know their routine and can plan ahead. My issue is that the neighbour has started climbing a ladder at random times under the guise of trimming, but seems is just have a good look into our house and garden. All her bushes are currently bare! We have cameras and I could see she didn't have secateurs this time- was just moving the bush to appear to be clipping. If relevant, she is in her 80's, very active, we get on to say hello- but she is known as the street busy body and knows all the gossip.
We've struggled to find blinds to fit the bifolds, but I equally don't feel we should have curtains pulled all day- in case she decides to peer over. Not sure what I'm asking really but I'm finding it very frustrating.
