I do not like renting.  Especially when you are getting on with some work in the study with the window open and you jump out of your skin because someone is tramping up your garden.  You leap up ready to launch a water bomb that you have at the ready, for such occasions and realise that the landlady is in your garden, ‘doing things’.  What is she doing?!  She appears to be packing green bags full of tree cuttings from yesterday’s tree surgery exercise. Very kind, but why does she not tell us she is coming?!  You can’t just walk into people’s gardens?!  I could have been walking round the kitchen naked!!  As I do regularly…. haha only joking!

Landlady.  One black mark.
