Just thought I’d put this out there, as before we moved, we had really nosey neighbours,we ended up ghosting them it got so bad. We now live in the country side and our nearest neighbours are 2 fields away, they are lovely i might add.
So with you on the fencing issue.Having recently moved to a detached house, I’m aware of having neighbours but not quite in the same degree as when I was semi-detached! I must say, it is bliss. I would never go back to living in a semi ever again.
I have met my new neighbours and both lots are friendly, they’re always asking if I’m settling in well, etc. A bit of a car enthusiast on the other side, he lives with his parents and is a bit of a big kid, but parks his many cars on their drive. He revs the engine a bit too much as he is a boy racer, but seems harmless enough. Although he does have a man bun which no man should have!
What annoys me though about having detached houses in Britain is that the gardens are not detached too, i.e., people don’t have their own fences, you’ve always got to share a fence with your neighbour. I would quite happily have my own fences, provided they too had their own. In other words, piss off!
