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?!

Do you have a hosepipe? If so, next time you catch her switch the hose on and squirt her with water. She won't invade your privacy again.

Why us she shouting at your dogs?

SarahAndFuck · 04/06/2013 09:44

Complain back to them that she has damaged your plants and the fence by hanging over it.

Complain that you think she is stalking you.

Complain that she is taking photographs of you, your DP, your dog, the children etc.

shouting them to call them up to stroke rather than shouting at them

Go and take a photo of her hanging over your fence. Why is she shouting at your dogs?

Can you put some trellis on top of the fence ?

"load more plants broke today because she insists on hanging over the fence shouting the dogs making them jump on raised beds."
I wonder if that is all there is to it. You keep a nice garden and take pleasure in it, she takes pleasure in damaging it. Sad

I did wonder that too Sad. she seems almost put out that we like it

OP watching the plants get trampled in the raised bed would make me seethe.
What an annoyance she is.

pictish · 04/06/2013 14:53

And yes...I think that she resents you daring to enjoy your garden. Getting ideas above your station, that is. Who do you think you are? Keep it basic like everyone else does ffs...stop showing off and thinking you're something better with your fancy plants and cheerful fucking sunflowers.

I think that's precisely it.

uberalice · 04/06/2013 14:56

Perhaps she's checking if the grass is greener on the other side of the fence.

cheerful Fucking sunflowersGrin literally laughing out loud! I love being out there within all the plants.

You need motion sensitive sprinklers that are triggered by her leaning over the fence.

Elquota · 04/06/2013 18:18

Grow something prickly so she can't hang over the fence.

Put trellis on top of the fence, or get a higher fence.
