    Perhaps if the OP's dad plays his cards right, she'll invite him over to trim her bush ;)



    .................I'll get my coat.

    Just go and talk to her! Why are you so worried about knocking on her door?

    Surley the OP's father should be concentrating on his own garden and not what is going on next door. There truely is no need to be peeking over garden fences.

    I don't have a garden here but when abroad i sunbathe topless, I wander about the pool area topless be that in a hotel or a villa. I also had absolutly no problems breastfeeding in public. I am very very comfortable with my body and after all its only a pair of boobs, there are not gonna jump over the fence and smother him or anything.

    DH is also a real gentleman.

    If a lady appeared to be embarrassed by being seen in a state of undress, and he was unable to leave the situation immediately, he would give her the shirt off his back to cover her modesty. If she wasn't embarrassed by being seen in a state of undress, he would continue whatever he was doing and pay no attention to what she wasn't wearing. The trick is to look at the face!

    There is actually an old joke (they are often the best.) The professors of Physics and Maths are on the beach one very hot day, and it seems to them that they would feel SO much more comfortable if they removed all their clothes, so they do. Suddenly they realise that a group of their students are approaching, so they grab their hats. The Physics professor covers his dangly bits, while the Maths professor covers his face. Once the students have passed, the Physics professor expresses astonishment at the actions of the Maths professor! But he explains: "It's usually my face my students recognise."

    Surely the issue is that there isn't a fence.........did you read the OP?

    It's unfortunate that his veg patch is beyond the fence but she has 100ft of garden in which to sunbath so why keep walking around? Yes it is her garden but her neighbours the other side can see her as can the neighbour the otherside of my dad.
    Does your dad know his other neighbours?
    Has any of them expressed concern at her behaviour?

    does your dad ever look at page 3 or women topless on the beach if so how can you complain about someone in the back garden or is that different?

    Why not remind your dad he fought in WW2 so people have the right to take their tops off in their own garden if they choose to.
    .................:)....I'm smiling because I have no idea what's going on ...:)
