So, three cars have rocked up across the road. Three youngish men have arrived…..they have bags of tools, and are obviously going to do work inside the house.
Two of them have been standing outside for a while pacing up and down, flinging their arms and doing lots of pointing. I fear, it is as I suspected……they are going to take up the garden to make space for the fleet of cars they obviously have …..
It’s going to be a complete nightmare here.
We live in a small, quiet, friendly cul de sac……I think that is all about to change.
Two houses have already taken up their front gardens and now the front of their houses are like car parks ….looks like this is going to be the third.
It looks so out of keeping with the rest of the cul de sac.
I’m not happy about looking out of my lounge window and just being able to see cars instead of the lovely garden.
Oh woe is me !

*shrug*. That's what happens when people buy a property. Some don't care about gardens. They have other interests.

@Traceyjayne They wanted a house and property, not the garden. I'm sure that house didn't have a garden at one time. Now, it won't have one again.

@DaddyEvil it did always have a garden ….front and back …..
We just don’t want the cul de sac to look like a car park ….its only small.
