I can't see how they could bother her.<br /><br />Sharon: She is indeed.<br /><br />Red: The funny thing is, I didn't really notice HOW overgrown it is until our bush collapsed.<br /><br />Ellen: We like the full look too, and I don't think we want to change that. But this is a little out of hand.<br /><br />Bug: I think we need a balance between having the garden look settled and having it look wild!<br /><br />York: I know enough French to know THAT is not quite correct.<br /><br />Jenny-O: Yeah, we just need a trim. Our own windows are a bit buried! I wouldn't even touch the cypresses if it were me.<br /><br />Ms Soup: Well, when I said I "washed my hands" of it, I probably overstated my position. I just mean they have to sort it out. I hope they still allow us some input. (Certainly over the neighbor!) The curtains are always drawn in that front window next door and yes, her garden is mostly dirt.Steve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-62437033469934279792016-01-17T03:04:53.462+00:002016-01-17T03:04:53.462+00:00Thanks Steve - now I get the picture (so to speak)...Thanks Steve - now I get the picture (so to speak) - if those trees were bothering anyone with regard to blocking light, it would have to be the people living in your building... LOL.<br /><br />I notice the curtains are drawn in her windows and there is only sparse vegetation in the next door garden (that I can see); maybe these things are indications of the real problem.<br /><br />Anyway, as you say, you do not have the final decision and you have washed your hands of the situation.<br /><br />And as I am sure you understand, the French language is not a strong point in Yorkshire(LOL) <br />Ms Soupalphabet souphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11744905399607433764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-61538663260467124292016-01-16T18:12:59.409+00:002016-01-16T18:12:59.409+00:00I actually like fuller growth, although it's a...I actually like fuller growth, although it's always nice to cut back once in awhile to get things under control again. There must be something your neighbour can't see through the cypress bushes! It would be a shame to cut them down, in my opinion. The red tape you have to go through to get your shrub taken away is kind of over the top, isn't it?<br /><br />jenny_ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475480579733466963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-40826033572128913522016-01-16T17:59:24.307+00:002016-01-16T17:59:24.307+00:00French for "skedaddle"?

Those cypress trees are wonderful. I can't see how they could possibly bother that neighbor. She just must be one who likes to complain. The neighborhood busybody.

Aside from thinking what an attractive building you have, I was also able to conclude that your neighbor is officially a pest (or possibly just a nut). Those cypresses are miles away.
