To be disconcerted by my new naked neighbour ...

[TheLittleDogLaughed]

I live in an upper floor flat in a large house converted into flats. The house next door has been vacant for nearly a year, being renovated. The new owners moved in on Friday.

This afternoon as I've been working at my desk, in front of the window overlooking my garden and the gardens on either side, I've been treated to the sight of an elderly man mowing the lawn wearing nothing but a sunhat and some flip-flops.

I'm genuinely confused about what to think. It's their garden of course. I have a teenage daughter whose bedroom window overlooks the gardens who will probably find it hilarious; dh already found it amusing until the man's wife joined him around an hour ago - you guessed it, stark naked!

It's sunny today but really cold; I dread to think what will happen in summer ...

*tackling the boarders

Why bother wearing a sun hat though?

Wouldn’t bother me if my neighbours decided to get nekkid. I’d love to do naked gardening but I don’t want to cause offence or attract pervy men. Once the hedge grows in a bit, maybe...

Meh, let them wobble contently on their own land. It's not like he's staring you down and helicoptering at a steady pace

I have a teenage dd as well I can just imagine what she and her mates would make of it - not too bad at this time of year but come the summer when the windows are open.....

T-shirt + no pants = toddler attire

Is the other naked man a friend or do they live together do you think?

Can you pop over with some wine/cake and introduce yourself? For research?

If we aren't getting a diagram can we at least have an artists impression?
TIA

Have they erected a greenhouse yet? My money's on some 'special herb plants' making an appearance soon in this story.

My goodness. Are they 'groomed' down there?

Well I’m sure it’s naked gardening day soon

I want some happy natural oldies next door too. My NDN had a hot tub, but she and her hubby uninstalled it :-(

" dh already found it amusing until the man's wife joined him around an hour ago - you guessed it, stark naked!"

Why was it amusing until the wife was also naked?

Where are wasps when you need them?

helicoptering at a steady pace

Oooft. I would probably have a word. Not remotely sure what I would say though, lol!

Why was it amusing until the wife was also naked?

Because in the patriarchal society we live in, Old Naked Man = funny, and Old Naked Woman = disgusting @diddl

I think you should take them round some Peppa Pig cupcakes, as a welcome.

Fucking flip flop’s he’s an H and S nightmare. Glad he read the Age Concern leaflet about losing most of your body heat through your head. Tbh a t shirt levitating above the last turkey in the butcher’s at Christmas sounds much more grim.

Wait until they're bent over to do the weeding!!!

Just like on the dog/parking threads, I want to say “photo or it didn’t happen”, but maybe not.

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! But otherwise.... crack on!

Have they put out a few deckchairs yet? I've the heating on today, oh to not feel the cold like this couple and their friends
.I want this story to continue :)

At my last-but-one house, my neighbour was a naturist. He was very discreet as l never saw him and because the neighbours facing us had children.
He was a nice enough man, we chatted quite a lot before actually l moved in, and l liked him. Except that the first night l was in my house, he put a note through my door saying that he was "very interested in what l did" (l'm a Pagan) and "would l be interested in doing a naked ritual with him." !!!
l got my (very large) OH to come over that afternoon, and when l next saw my neighbour, l said that my OH was not happy at all about his suggestion. He asked for the note back (it had both his phone numbers on it) but l lied and said my OH had taken it.
We were fine after that, and l never saw him apart from when he was sitting on his front lawn in shorts and a t-shirt. He worked nights, though....

I wouldn't mind this at all. So long as they're quiet.
