When we moved in, at the bottom of our garden was:
1. 2 metre high wooden fence
2. Barbed wire
3. 2.5 metre high hawthorn hedge, about 1 metre deep
4. Holly hedge
What was this high security perimeter for? I can only assume that it was to stop the cows in the field behind us looking in the garden for greener pastures.
What were the previous occupants thinking? Should the cows manage to scale the fence (without getting caught on the barbed wire) and survive the vicious spikes in the hawthorn then the holly would put them off...
I have now removed most of the features from the bottom of the garden, reclaiming a good 8 square metres of garden and a pleasant view of a few friendly cows.

hmm, I hope they weren't thinking "I'm sick and tired of getting robbed every 2 months by people coming across that field" 8-o
ReplyDeleteWell now they can jump over the lower fence or walk in the other way.
