Gone - and good riddance.
At some point in the less than illustrious past of this garden, a previous owner decided to put up a rough plank fence, cover it with green Netlon and then plant 20 very vigorous ivy plants along its length.Over time we'd lost about 3ft off the width of the drive, and the fence was losing the fight for survival against the ivy. This weekend we got rid of both. We now have a lovely view of the neighbours' neat garden and they have a less than lovely view of the functional parts of our garden (polytunnel, shade tunnel and garage). Still, their 'woodland' area will get plenty of sun for the next few weeks while we clear the ivy from under their shrubs and mend their shed roof. I'm pleasantly achy, chuffed with the progress we've made and will sleep well tonight once I've washed the ivy dust off my skin.
With thanks to DB for his stunning trailer/tip performance and eldest Trillia for being a star with the loppers.
