To wonder why my neighbour

[likesnowflakesinanocean]

was hanging over the fence taking photos of my garden and now be a little worried.

She complained to the HA last year that our sunflowers were too high and our flowers attracted bees. Dp has just found her hanging over fence with camera phone. He is unimpressed because her hanging over fence has caused dog to jump on border and snap a few of his plants. but i am more wondering what she was taking photos of and why?!

That's pretty difficult to think of, I confess. Round here, you'd need to have something pretty spectacular to even raise a jaded eyebrow.

Call the HA and complain that she has sky above her garden and it's attracting birds.

Well as the HA were evidently entirely dismissive of her complaint last year as they failed to evict you for attracting bees, I guess this years she is gathering photographic evidence to include in her file.

Your lucky, lucky HA admin who is going to receive her latest complaint.

pondering where i will live if i get evicted for attracting bees..

I would have thought that if you have a garden which attracts loads of bees you'd be more likely to get an award than an eviction.

would i get a trophy :) i like trophys

Just a thought, OP. Whose fence is it? If hers, I'm just wondering whether she could be gathering evidence to complain that something you're doing is undermining the fence in some way?

fence between two houses maintained by HA. nothing being grown up there but is a thought

Maybe the local bee keepers association would give you a trophy. Or maybe you could contact them and ask what are the best things to have to attract bees. LOL!

Phone up the local bee association and demand to know why you have not received your trophy.

I got mine months ago.

She's a beeist, no wonder the little critters are in decline.

i used to be a bit scared of bees as a child, since being an adult and sitting next to them in the garden without them stinging me i feel slightly warmer toward them

That's brilliant - complaining to the HA about your neighbour's sunflowers being to tall and arrtacting bees. Incredible.

Dont go in the HA office often but will have a peek at the memo board next time. bet its on my notes - pesky irritating bee loving plant grower or some such :)

True, Lunatic.

It's always good day in the office when you have a comedy complaint letter in. We've had some humdingers over the years.

:) she sounds like, well, a lunatic.

Waffly..... you have to share some of those 'humdingers' please?

I think you should mow a giant cockandballs bee into the lawn so she has something to photograph.

Not an HA and complaints about us rather than others.

Someone used to send me vibrator catalogue pages. Another one, I don't remember what the complaint was but it was in green pen and they included pictures of random famous and not famous people with moustaches drawn on them including someone who used to work for us. I've been accused of being a terrorist, of putting people out of work who fought to keep scumbags like me alive etc. That they haven't got a pot to piss in and would send us their shit (very gloopy) if we wrote to them again. Some far more ominous stuff too which had to be passed to the police.

This was working for a charity.

Can you plant some pansies so that when they grow they spell out 'kiss my arse'?
Also why not be neighbourly and take some photos of your garden and take them to her to save her the trouble,that would make the nutter think twice.

I have read some fabulously insane complaint letters in my decade in a Council planning department.

Mooning gnomes, its the only way.

Loving the complaint about the bees, something we are all being encouraged to ummm encourage!

I used to get some very weird letters in - and they were always in coloured ink. (Purple was usually the one for me, though.)

Once the bees go we are in trouble.
