Builders, builders and more builders. Our houses have been built around 50 years, over the past year or two a lot of them have become vacant as the people who moved into them when they were newly built moved on. I guess most of them looked dated to the people moving in, and people now find a standard 3 bedroom semi too small for a family of four. Everywhere the houses are being gutted, roof extensions being added, and in some cases 2 story extensions where once the garage stood. |

From my back windows, I can see a grass covered bank, and a 'bank' of trees at the back of the garden behind me, including lilac, buddleia and a fir tree where baby starlings sit and squawk, with Betty asleep at the bottom, a small wall, and patch of grass - must clean Betty's 'detritis' up! :-( It's a very private area. |

From the kitchen at the back of the house, I can look to sheep grazing on the distant hill. Closer, there are 2 silver birch trees. |

Well ladies you seem to have some very tranquil views compared to mine. I must admit my garden tends to look rather unkempt, but it does attract the birds, lots of butterflies and the occasional frog as well as the local cats and a fox or two at night. |

In the back I see my grass which if you look at it in the right light and the right angle looks amazing, my old shed which needs replacing and lots of things in pots which I need to plant up once I get the new shed and an idea of how to lay out the garden.....and I see neighbours swimming pools if I look from upstairs. |

At the back I can see my garden, somewhat neglected, and lots of trees with plenty of birds. |

The front of our house overlooks a group of units, some tenanted and some owner occupied, all of which are well maintained. |
