I don't see any reason for a woman to have to cover up in her own garden, but neither do I see any reason why she can't be considerate of her neighbour's embarrassment.

Agree

Problem is that no one has had the bottle/courtesy to inform her there is a problem. She can hardly be judged for offence that hasn't been brough tto her attention.

The OP / her father can mention it, or stay schtum, using the many excellent suggestions about a movable screen or trellis.

I also really hate the colour of another persons weatherbording....so I just try really hard not to notice it: it makes them happy.

Our neighbours weren't too thrilled when we parked a pink caravan on our patio ... but I think they've got used to it now.

But she can only be considerate of his embarrassment if she's aware of it!

I think that the best solution would be to look at fencing or planting. Things that grow rapidly and densely: clumping bamboos, trelis with climbing roses/honeysuckles, green willow stakes- whatever: there are hundreds of planting options. The idea of a movable hurdle till then is a great idea.

Probably best to avoid Pampus Grass though.... might complicate matters further :rotfl:

Hmm, I don't know, I'd certainly put a top on near that horrendous stuff: might solve the problem!:D

No, the thing you need to deter bare skin is yucca plants!

He could plant some holly or something else with large prickles as that will deter her from leaning over the fence.

I am not a prude and have been on a beach where everything is hanging out but there is no way that I would ever sunbathe topless or even totally nude in my garden, I get the feeling this woman gets a kick out of it especially if she makes a point of walking down to the bottom of the garden to chat across the fence.

Perhaps....but maybe asking her to cover up when wandering around the unfenced bits of the garden might be a good first step.........and they say we are losing the art of communication - where do they get these ideas from?

Let's be honest though...there isn't that many women that look good topless anyway.

I would've thought the majority that come here can't go topless without tripping over them anyway :T :whistle:

Speak for yourself!!! Mine are very perky thank you very much!!!

Not that I'd parade them round for the old man next door though........ having said that our next door neighbour is sooooooo nosey you don't exactly need to parade........

He could invite round every weirdo in the village , supply them with beer and get them to heckle her
