Wonder if Ellie lives in the flats next door. One thing I did notice, in the early kids and counting, if you look from their front door to the neighbours garden next door, on the drive, they have a low wall that splits between theirs and the Radfords. The kids always used to jump over it and run down the neighbours drive, then in a later kids and counting, the neighbours stuck a fence on the top of the low wall. I couldn't truthfully live next to them. The constant noise would drive me nuts. Imagine trying to enjoy a bbq in your garden living next to that lot, you couldn't because of the noise constantly.
