Our neighbour over the back has been having repairs done to his wall over the last couple of weeks. We were away for three days and returned home last night. I've been in the garden all day today and by late afternoon noticed that it was very quiet, ie, the workmen weren't there.
Went to the back of the garden 30 mins ago and have just seen the state of my wall - they have come over to my side, patched it with rough cement and and put new cement coping stones on half of it (the wall is over 200 years old). Not only didn't they ask my permission but they have covered all my new black trellis with cement (which is has now set) and my 2 clematis are knackered and partly set in mortar. The plants in the troughs along the wall are all dead and I've had to pull them out and there solid lumps of cement stuck in the chuckies. My new black garden furniture is now grey.
I am so angry I could spit the dummy and cry. They must have done it on Thursday or Friday when I was away. It's the Open Gardens in our village next weekend and the back of my garden now looks like cr8p.
