Evening/afternoon all.
Went to local police station and reported neighbours.
It's been logged and a community police officer will call in next couple of days then go and speak to them.
So I hope they get the message.
If the whole plant dies though I will go the whole hog and prosecute them.
Apart from that it's been a quiet day here - too hot to do much.

Cont’d. Part 3 - Paddle & Visit to Historic Maryland Landmark


A Beach to Land to Commence the Land Trek

After paddling to the north/north east for about 20 minutes, we spotted a grassy, soft landing area where we could park our boats and pull out to start the hike to Hancock’s Resolution.

  • Hancock's Resolution is a historic two-storey gambrel-roofed stone farm house with shed-roofed dormers and interior end chimneys located on a 15-acre (6.1 ha) farm in Pasadena, Anne Arundel County, Maryland, United States. In 1785 Stephen Hancock, Jr. built the original stone section as the main house for what was then a 410-acre (170 ha) farm. Additions to the house were built in 1855 and in about 1900. Stone and frame outbuildings remain, including a one-storey gable-roofed stone dairy. Hancock's Resolution remained in Hancock family ownership until the deaths in the 1960s of Mary Hancock and her brother, Henry Hancock, who left the property to Anne Arundel County to be preserved. Hancock's Resolution underwent a thorough restoration in 2000 and is now open to the public as a house museum

Great job, Lyn. This is unheard of! Even if it doesn’t die, go all the way. That may be the only way to deal with some people (otherwise they might take it as weakness and make it worse for you later), and it’s not like you’ll be ruining perfectly good neighborly relations anyway.

All gorgeous pictures, Mark! Thanks for sharing!

Good night, roommates! Might have to take daughter to the zoo tomorrow. It’s getting hard dealing with that monkey on my own at home... :D

P.S. Had a word from Adam today. I have a feeling, if we ask him nicely, he might be back very soon. ;) [emoji173]️
Now I’m also wondering about our other missing roommates, for instance @AZtortMom. I think a lot about you and your *tiiiiiny* babies, Noel, especially because my TORTOISE gift is quite prominent in my living room [emoji23][emoji173]️

Thanks Lena.
The policeman asked me if it would make things worse for me if they turned up at the house and I said it couldn't really get any worse, so you are right.
If they do become abusive and threatening I'll just call the police again.
It will all be on record now, so I doubt they will make things worse for themselves.
The worse they could do is ring the council about my tree which I have gradually been reducing the height of - heat permitting - and to be honest if they turned up I'd be happy to show them all the fly tipping the neighbours have done over the years and the fact they are draining washing machine water into a soak away instead of a sewer etc etc. They would have a lot more to answer for than me!

Goodnight Lena sleep well and have a lovely day tomorrow. Hope it's not too hot for the animals to be out.
