Could you plant/have planted a hedge? I saw Monty Don on "Big Dreams Small Spaces" yesterday planting a small hedge.Terra https://www.blogger.com/profile/04396481049075747940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2274851670267684075.post-48130175684233078052019-02-10T14:54:54.093+00:002019-02-10T14:54:54.093+00:00So sorry - I knew it was happening - but the befor...So sorry - I knew it was happening - but the befores and afters show how much you are now exposed.

Maybe it will provide you with a new view of the wildlife.<br />Because of the weather we have had so many flood warning calls for the Dumfries area at Luce Bay this last week - hope our cottage is still standing - no-one has phoned us to say different.wherethejourneytakesmehttps://wherethejourneytakesme2.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2274851670267684075.post-35318361807938008382019-02-10T08:31:46.062+00:002019-02-10T08:31:46.062+00:00I would have gone to the prom too.

Does the road that goes in front of your house continue on that direction and form an intersection there or does the road just make a 90 degree turn there? Are there warning signs before the turn that is a very sharp a turn? Maybe drivers are going too fast (obviously) and don't realize that such an abrupt turn is coming and just can't slow down enough to make the turn? Perhaps the road people could be persuaded to put signs facing both directions indicating that a definite turn (not a curve) is happening right there? Surely in light of all the accidents that have happened there and all the damage to your hedge and fence that would be an acceptable suggestion or possibly a demand is in order.<br /><br />Always remember that the squeaking wheel gets the grease.<br /><br />vichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18428581552807859803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2274851670267684075.post-13751213063070219022019-02-09T21:49:15.975+00:002019-02-09T21:49:15.975+00:00How awful, not to mention expensive.

I hate to say this, but unless the council put up some solid bollards, won't your new fence be just as vulnerable? Drivers might even take the corner faster as they can possibly see round it more. What a pitty it came to this. I would want to escape to prom too.<br />Jeannoreply@blogger.com
