So, I’m not sure am I being unreasonable, but I don’t see away round it tbh. No one’s ever said anything before. But then all my neighbours love my cooking and particularly my chutney
the thing is, me house is in a strange position. The drive is longe between 2 houses and I’m tucked behind them. My border is sort of an off L shape at the back, tucked into the right hand side of the L is an air b&b, it’s a lovely little 2 bed cottage we normally only get little families or couples staying there, it’s really tiny. The little garden is the other side of the L my garden is the left side of the L and my kitchen is against the _ with a path between the windows and door and their fence. So yes in essence they might as well be sitting outside my kitchen window. We’ve never had a problem and I try to respect it if people are staying there keep music down etc.
but it’s the hight of the chutney making season, and I do make a lot to give away to family and friends. Because I struggle physically now I make in small quantities once or twice a day over the last few days. Then without thinking tonight I made a curry for dinner. I went out to fetch the washing in and could hear them muttering and complaining about the smells,
I have honestly never given it any thought, DH and my neighbours on the other side said it doesn’t smell that much, infact they hadn’t noticed it at all this year yet and when they do it’s only the odd whiff.
but then these people are on holiday but surely if you book a rental in the middle of residential houses you’re going to get day to day life.
how would you feel if you were staying next to me, living doesn’t really count because it’s only a couple of weeks or so .
