Nice People Thread No. 15, a Cyber Summer

Pyxis

Have managed to connect my camera to my iPad.
Wasn't easy, and I still don't really know how to do it......it happened, sort of by accident, but when I try to repeat a transfer, sometimes it happens and sometimes not. Frustrating, and annoying.
As usual, the instructions are woefully inadequate.

Don't know how to transfer the video recordings, though.

Anyway, this is a pic of the stork's nest on the church tower at Alàjar.....

A truy wonderful fence - and not just a fence but a fence on a slope which is considerably harder.

Not sure this is the moment to ask but did you consider fitting a single weatheboard (I think that is the name for a rot proff plank) at the bottom to protect the panels from rotting?

A gravel board. I've kept the panels clear of the ground, to try to prevent rotting. A gravel board would stop soil and similar stuff coming underneath the panels. To be honest, the quality of the soil in the neighbour's garden is so much better than ours I don't mind if we gain a bit.

Edit: She told me that she had sieved the soil in her beds by hand. There's dedication to gardening!

A gap is also useful for transient hedgehogs, too!

Great fence building and mash making. Well done.

It really is the little things that make us feel good. Just wish I could summon up the enthusiasm to get out in the garden and tidy it up but it's sooooo cold.

we have a lot of open gardens here unlike our Bexhill property 6 foot fenced in the back for privacy...next door was 2 to 4 foot higher in places the front garden had a hedge mostly and the'next door manic change everything possible or even not possible ,must be changed kind of peeps....they put up a 6 foot hand made (heavy duty prison type the locals called it) fence and it was 2 foot above ours because of the terrain three quarters down and then across there garden with a higher gate...when the postie turned up the next day he was very confused and asked us for directions into the letterbox....there was a lot of jokes about it but it looked horrid in the area.

My fence/panels are larger and more robust than that. They're a full 6' high with three chunky horizontals. The woman at planning mentioned in passing that new builds have to have 6' fences now ... in part because of people's kids and trampolines!

I never see anybody/neighbours as the fences are so high....

Years ago houses would be built with a 3' bit of chicken wire fencing!

We lived in an early '70s estate where the fences were like that. And there were no boundaries at the front at all.

My best friend's mum is still there. The whole place feels more claustrophobic now for the fences people have put in.

And Blackbird is still going.....
