I’m so excited. The fence man has just called to say he is coming on Thursday to start my front fences. At the moment my front yard has been cleared of trees except one in preparation. This means the minute I step out the front door I’m on show for whole street to see, which I hate. This, plus the fact that my house is on an unusual angle to my neighbour’s, makes life in the front yard all very exposed. However, soon there will be a six foot fence on that side. I will be able to walk out to get the paper in my dressing gown with complete confidence (and a little bit more privacy). How wonderful.
