Last summer, our neighbours decided to assasinate one of our vines (which, granted, was colonising their garden). When the dead vine was pulled away, I think they regretted their choice as it turned out that all that separated our gardens was this ugliness:
Last weekend, L. and neighbour dug out the old fence (if such a jumble of wood can indeed be called a fence) and, with the help of neighbour's buddy, created a magnificent new fence, starting with a nice, deep trench:
And building upwards:
L. used the opportunity to level out our fruit-producing area by making a retaining wall out of some old building blocks (thus making the garden look much nicer and - bonus! - saving us a trip to the recycling centre).
Our privacy has been restored and I'm really looking forward to eating on the patio without being under our neighbours' watchful eyes.
