    Hi all

    Today the wife spotted something interesting going on next door's garden. Some of you may know that last year I tackled my bindweed infestation by spraying the whole garden with Round-Up. I cleared most of teh dead weed away but there was still loads left in the hedge, and it seems a developer who know doubt didn't apply for planning consent has decided to make use of this material.

    I tried to catch a pic of the perpetrator, but it was keen to avoid surveilance. I did see it though, here's a description. About 6 inches high, brown speckled feathery coat, beady eyes.

    You're a funny guy Clueless, no doubt about it.


    Last Autumn one offender was spotted ripping a portion of my weed prevention membrane and trying to make away with it. Suspect was about 8 inches tall, furry and grey, and hardfaced.

    Last year I caught a guy ripping strips off my garden fleece and stuffing it down my neighbours chimney. His initials were J D.

    Whoever it was, he seems to have given up now. He must have came to his senses, as he seems to have abandoned his development. The chosen spot is wide open to Magpies.
