Oh dear, am expecting trouble now!!!
« on: February 22, 2011, 20:03 »
My next door neighbour's fence came down during the gales a few weeks ago.  I went out and repaired it as best I could but today Cilla found a way in and trashed the garden.  Luckily it's mostly bark chips and fancy slabs in the middle but boy, what a mess she made.  :lol:  Think she might have broken a few ornaments too but will try and blame the wind for that.  This is the girl that comes running and shouts at me for treats.  Could I catch her? Not a chance.  So, ended up climbing back over broken fence and got the mealworms out, 2 seconds later, she was back where she should be.  Am now going to have to section off the garden asap instead of waiting til summer.  I am now dreading tomorrows mess.   :tongue2:

She didnt say a word??? Err, well, to me anyway.  This is the woman that was telling everyone that she was going to the Council about the noise before I even got the girls (had them 3 weeks before she noticed they were there) :lol: Maybe she was happy to get her garden swept and tidied for her.  :D  :D

Well, she did it again today, so the garden now has a make shift fence sort of running down the middle but kind of going at an angle so that the chicks can still get to the rabbit hutches.  It's a bit of an eye sore but couldn't deny them their morning charge down to see what the rabbits had kicked out.  :D  :D

If it's her fence, you could ask her to repair it in order to protect your birds!  :tongue2:

Or maybe just deliver a half dozen eggs when you can as compensation? She should be grateful it wasn't the rabbits digging up her beds and lawn....

Did you get pics?  :lol:

Oh no!  She did it again?  There's just something about that grass being greener on the other side!  ;)
When I die I will slide in sideways, a glass of wine in one hand and chocolate in the other, screaming, "Whooo hooo!  What a ride!" as life is to be enjoyed to the fullest!

Except she doesn't have grass!! Just slabs (half of which I gave her) bark and lots of Gnomes and plastic ornaments.  Make shift fence is working well so far though.  :D  :D

How about giving her a concrete hen to sit on the slabs then she'll just think she's got problems when she sees double & it's moving!!

Er Wot?  Were they singing the Frog Chorus at 6 in the morning?  How can anyone complain about Frogs? (unless they were invading her kitchen and turned into massive Kermits and took all their pals along)  :lol:  :lol:
