Neighbours, dum de dum de dum de dum de
We've lived in the same house for a long time and over the years we've had a number of different neighbours and got on well with most of them.

There was one couple, though, who were obsessive about keeping their back garden private and so planted what they thought were fast growing leylandii between our gardens. However, they must have been sold a duff batch, or there was something wrong with the soil, because the trees resolutely refused to grow any higher than 3 feet.

Meanwhile, a Mountain Ash I planted in our garden had shot up much quicker than expected, much to my amusement.

So I had a real LOL at my bigger tree.
