We usually let them come in and use the swing. The kids usually come and ask.

Today he's just done it - I guess he's feeling pretty desperate to entertain them (3 year old twins and a 5 year old).

What do I do?

Excellent sensible decision OP.

I despair of the little England attitude on here sometimes.. 'I have something I don't use and don't want and would be so useful to my neighbours in a time of hardship ..'
invariably when their are two options between
A : do the kind thing and try and find a solution that keeps everyone happy .
Or
B: Tell them to fuck off your land. They are grasping cheeky fuckers ..

The vocal massive will be screaming B.

All I can hope is that those who would deny their neighbours young children a swing they don't like and don't use , NEVER move to a rural location where the support and kindness of neighbours is often needed. Not just in unusual times like this but for everyday living.

Being kind is a much pleasanter way to live. When did material goods become more important than good relationships with those that live around you ?

lol I'm not that great but I spent early evening enjoying looking at the wild garlic for you all.

Planted a redcurrant in the site of the former compost heap too!
