I was always lead to believe that if a neighbours` plant or tree went through your boundary you were perfectly entitled to chop off the offending foliage and return it if your neighbour requested it.
A few weeks ago, I removed the surplus conifer branches that were killing my lawn (these were on her side, not mine), and made a point of letting her know that I have trimmed them, which legally I didn`t need to do, but out of courtesy, I did. I got the silent treatment for that..............
Now today, I noticed that the honeysuckle that we have between us (the roots are hers next door) has been pushed over to my side of the fence and is blocking the light out of my dining room window. So I thought, to hell with it, the stuff overhanging my garden, again, is for the chop. This I did, leaving everything tidy, and her side totally un-altered. As I was sweeping up, I had to listen to a load of abuse as she pegged her washing out.
I understand that I am doing nothing wrong and if I am I am to be corrected, but why can`t the silly cow wind her neck in? Or am I wrong? Nothing of mine intrudes on anybody elses gardens, so why should I have to put up with it from other people??
