Nothing much here. Herts. few twigs scattered, river full and a slate

Fences are good (concrete slotted posts) and roofs seem OK.

However, the lid of my recycling bin has totally vanished... It's a mystery.

Next door neighbour left his green house door open and one side is now
lacking some glass which can be found in the garden of the neighbour
further down.

I've lost the lawnmower cover and all of the garden waste/
pruning/clippings that I piled at the bottom of the garden is now at the
other end of the garden.

The the 6x6ft fence panels around a commercial property close by have
bent in half - all 3 horizontal rails have snapped at the 3 ft point on
3 panels. The concrete posts remain intact.

Surprisingly little damage considering the strength of the wind at times
last night

Two 6' panel fences destroyed. Sadly both separate me from two separate
neighbours, both sets of fences with ambiguous ownership :-(.

Local Bentley + JLR dealer had a 200' run of 6' lapped fencing done only
last year, with concrete posts, 10' arris rails and overlapped stuff.
Backing onto a stream with very sandy, silty subsoil, many of the
concrete posts have been tilted about 15% off vertical.

Brick wall flat in our local park. Mind you, single brick with double
brick piers, and not enough of them. One imagines there are regs if your
garden wall backs on to a public footpath. Could have been nasty

It does. Bottom of garden shows as mine, but LR shows a double fence
with a 5 foot pathway extending the length of 20 houses. This footpath
and one of the fences is missing. The original builder ?didn't think it
was necessary, so saved themselves the cost of a run of panels, so the
right-to-buy owners of the ex-LA properties on the other side also see
it as 'theirs'. Result - most of the pure-private houses just maintain
it themselves.

2nd fence is to the right as I look out of back door, and originally had
2x6' panels next to the house then 3' chainlink as far as the bottom
fence. New FTB neighbours decided to replace (my) chainlink with cheap
6' panels without asking about boundary ownership !. New run of 6 panels
are fixed into metposts that were whipping back and forth like dahlias
on a windy day. Of the 6, 4 are upside down, and 2 of them are also
back-to-front and one is 'attached' to my fence post. When I say
attached, they used screws that only went half an inch into the post, so
that panel is now flat on the ground, where I suspect it will stay until
I do something about it. The FTB neighbours only bought it cheap as a
doer-upper and have made £60K profit and effed off.

SWMBO bought me a real chocolate egg. I didn't realise how high the cocoa
content was until I'd eaten too much.

Just shows it hardly ever gets properly windy where ever the above

Occasional light shower.

Slightly windy.

A friend posted a photo on Facebook of a bunch of eggs with no mention of
"Easter" on the front. The only thing is that the photo was taken in the
70's.

There has been no banning of "Easter" by Cadbury's or anyone else.

You should have stamped on that and quickly. Unless on their side of the
border - or with your agreement.

New run of 6 panels
are fixed into metposts that were whipping back and forth like dahlias
on a windy day. Of the 6, 4 are upside down, and 2 of them are also

Never quite understood the like for high fences all round a small garden.
Different, perhaps very close to the house. They make the garden seem even
smaller. ;-)

Or there again, maybe the penny eventually dropped that it's bad business
to put a name on something perishable such as chocolate eggs which
would immediately render them unsaleable, at full price at least, after
a specific date.

The more Easter loses any real meaning, the more chance there is of flogging
chocolate eggs all year round; or at least until this years stocks are exhausted.

And better for burglars. I have nothing but a hedge, kept low enough
that you can see over it. I feel more secure than if I had a 6' fence.

The only known boundary feature remaining since 1931 was one wire mesh
fence on concrete pillars. That had the pillars on my side and it was
when I replaced that that my neighbour informed me that her deeds said
it was hers. I suspect it is simply that the original deeds were badly
drafted.

I came out of a shared-boundary deal quite well: a neighbour on one side
assumed that she own that fence and paid for it when she wanted to replace
it; the neighbour on the other side assumed that that side was shared when
panels blew down in the wind so I only paid half for repairs to that side. I
forget which side the Ts were (and I forget which way to interpret them) but
as far as I remember, the two fences that bordered my garden both had T
marks so I definitely owned *one* of the two fences!
