first of all, yes I'm going on what my 11 yo dd is saying.
Next door neighbours, we haven't had a falling out with them ever but don't tend to have anything to do with each other. We talk politely if we bump into each other outside but that's it.
Dh is currently in the back garden quietly mixing a small amount of cement by hand.
Dd went up to the loo and was only upstairs a few minutes and came down. Said she had gone into our bedroom to look out the back window out her dad. Next door neighbour was walking down the path in his garden and stopped, glared at her and made shooing motions with his hands. She copied what he did to me and it's definetly a full on go away motion. She says she shook her head at him and pointed down into our garden trying to show him she's not looking in his garden. She says he appeared quite pissed off at this and shook his head and glared some more before going inside.
It's raining at the minute so it's not like they're sunbathing or anything. We have a 7ft high wall between the gardens and outbuildings so most of their garden is obscured anyway.
I know it's not nice to think you might be overlooked but if he was that bothered I think he should have bought a house with no neighbours. I like looking out my window at the chickens and now feel that I have to be careful incase the neighbour sees me! Not that I have a lot of free time to spend looking out the window and I don't think he's seen me looking out the window previously. Nor does dd spend a lot of time looking out the window.
I feel like getting binoculars now and doing some bird watching.
