Our new locale

[owl]

The people who live next door, sort of (sadly they're no Merricks) have had landscapers in for what seems like all the time since we've moved in. We call them 'the Contsant Gardeners'. The end result is a massive bank of peat with a few feeble-looking twiggy shrubs sticking up out of it; rather a poor return, it seems like.

We've made a map of the road, labelled with all the various livestock to be found at each house, for example Slightly Hideous Cat, Relatively Pretty Cat, and Plastic Goat (With Parasol.)

I like this map :D

Heh, so do I!

I have never seen a plastic goat, let alone a plastic goat with a parasol.

Nor had I, until now.

If you were feeling kind you would probably label our garden "ecologically friendly"

Someone once took a look at ours and said 'Oh - a meadow garden?' in a slightly doubtful tone of voice, which was the politest way I've seen of describing it yet. It doesn't actually have old prams under the rampant greenery, but you wouldn't be able to tell by looking.

The street we're on includes the Suicidal Budgie next door and the Cat-Shaped Balloon at the bus-stop.

Sounds intriguing!

Ours currently resembles nothing so much as a landfill site.

Ours is currently developing from resembling a building site (large quantities of old bricks) to a ... I suppose you could say "urban meadow site" - what in my childhood would have been called "a bombsite". My oldest friend/neighbour/landlady is currently using the bricks to rebuild a shed that is falling down, and planting holly along the fence to keep people out and give us nice decorations at Christmas (do you know how hard it is to get a good mix of sexes for holly bushes?) and there aren't quite as many brambles as there were.
