Neighbour

Well, the felt off his shed blew into our garden

So I wrote to say we had it, didn't want to throw over fence nor bin as didn't want to upset him/ or dispose of it without his knowledge

But if he would like it if he could he let me know so I could return

Also mentioned fence said that he probably was unaware and we were willing to assist but would appreciate his input

Also mentioned the cctv that was going up and to let us know if he had any concerns.

2 days later, last night, he knocked on door asking if he could recover his felt.

Then asked to look at fence

Spoke re cctv

Anyway today he has striped back ivy replaced one panel and was chatty

I said I had access to a van if we could help pick up panels

All in all great result and I definitely think the letter was the best approach as he has previously been difficult but he was actually very pleasant

Nice one, good to hear it was a positive result.

was very pleasantly surprised, hopefully this will be the start of better relations, not saying we will ever be having a BBQ together but rubbing along with no issues is a definite plus

thanks for all of your suggestions

Maybe now is the time to knock and offer him cake? He's obviously not as bad as you thought he was and a nice gesture like that will help with any future communication you need to have with him

Not sure what the fascination is about cake and tea lol

I won't be nipping around with cake - may offer him some gardening products in lieu :-)
