Our property is very secluded so no need to warn the neighbors they most likely they won't show up unexpected. We do have a sign on the way up the driveway they can see and I know they have seen us before walking/working around the property. It from a distance but I'm sure they have figured it out.

The little I've tried has met with some resistance. But fortunately we have land on the mountains where it's mostly isolated. But I do wear something light most of the time around the buildings in sight of neighbors passing by on occasion randomly. Except when I know there's no one around, and stepping out at night. Some light loose shorts is next door to naked, so it's no big deal. But I work a lot off in the woods and back where I'm clearing land for agriculture ventures, so I can get in plenty of naked working time. Although now through early spring the weather will limit it to the occasional warmest days. The last 3 days have been very nice and I got in a good bit of time cutting firewood up there clothless.

Neighbor 2 houses away has been cutting our mutual next door neighbor's grass as he is 80+ and not up to doing it any more.
Today he accidentally cut my pool return line that runs along the fence. He said he would fix it later in the day.
Since he is well over 6' tall, I told him to let me know when he was going to do it since I only wear a swimsuit when we have company.
He replied that if he had a pool and fence like mine, he wouldn't wear one either.

I haven't warned anyone but word gets around. They have warned each other. I live in a rural area and neighbors cant see my house or even into my yard around the house. A few people have showed up unexpected and discovered I was naked and one was snooping around the edges of my property. They all know to call before they show up here.

Living in a very rural area, with only a small number of people living within a mile each direction, I can attest to the "word gets around" factor! That's true of just about everything, in fact. Between being "caught" several times over the years, photographed by my hunting friends trail camera, and the "Clothing Optional" signs that I had posted on my porch and fence for a few years, it's pretty much community knowledge that I'm a nudist.

Proof of general knowledge came along again recently when a guy that lives 1/2 mile from me (my nearest neighbor on that side) pulled into the driveway on his ATV. Working in the back yard, and hearing the ATV, I went to the gate to see who it was. Oddly, I was actually dressed at the time. When he heard me opening the gate, he hollered "get out of the pool and put some clothes on and come on out here". He was grinning about it. One of these days, he'll do that and I'll be nude...and I'll come on out that way!

A little while back I was having a Sunday afternoon cocktail with one set of my neighbors and because my shorts are always sliding down it prompted his wife to ask am about my tan lines or lack there of. So I let them know that I tan nude sometimes in our boat in the driveway so as not to offend all the neighbors (because no other neighbors can see). Then I pointed out that some of the windows in their house would easily be able to see if I was out tanning and both proceeded to mention that it would not be a problem.
I haven't been out tanning when they are home since but I'm sure it will happen sooner or later. I just hope they remember our previous conversation so its not a surprise to them.
They are very cool neighbors bye the way.

We got a new neighbor (single male) on the side that has a partial view of my pool even over the privacy fence. I had put up some screening above the fence so that he couldn't see over it. I took it down recently. He made a comment wanting to know why I had it there in the summer. I told him I usually did my swimming, sunning and pool maintenance nude. He said I didn't need to bother with it for his sake and he didn't care what I wore or didn't wear, even if he could see something over the fence.

We had a younger couple move in next door to us last year. We have gotten to know them pretty well and they were over a couple weeks ago and I started up the firepit. the neighbors across the street joined us, After a while the young couple was talking about how they were having problems keeping clothes on their 2 year old. I was telling them to just leave him alone. There is nothing wrong with it, That's when my dear wife blurted out, he's ( pointing at me ) naked in the yard all the time... I don't think it phased any of them. I guess it is safe to says they have now been warned.

I've lived at the same residence all my life and seen neighbours come and go over the years. I've always gone out in my side garden and rear garden in the summer months naked and never had a problem with it for the last thirty years, however my next door neighbours (older couple) lived there a good many years moved away a couple of years ago and I'd not really took notice. My new neighbours are younger and although I was sure on a couple or so occassions from their upstairs bedrooms they had seen into my side garden with me naked in there, nothing has ever been said until recently. In September this year the weather over here was still quite warm and one day I walked out the back door naked with a bin liner full of food stuff to put in the outer bin. While I was walking across the side garden (six feet fence all round) the neightbour caught view of me outside and took camera footage, and then reported me to the police. About a month past by then two female police came knocking on the door and arrested me for indecent exposure. I spent two days in the cells and a couple of hours in court before the court and solicitors/prosecution decided to drop the charges. Now although I've got it in police documented form that nudism and naturism is legal in the UK, even to the point of being naked in public, I now feel uneasy about it and if that happend again I'd want some form of identity card (legal) that allows me to be a naturist and not get arrested.

David, that sucks about your neighbors videoing. What the hell were you hurting being in your own yard? I'm glad your incarceration was only temporary but YIKES! We can't get away with it here in the states except in places like where my partner and I live, a resort for nudism. Doing the yardwork with clothes is completely idiot unless weather's foul. I'm going to double-dig a second bed this week if the weather stays nice here. Garden bed digging between Christmas and New Years, oh how lucky I am!

The thing that makes me the saddest about your young, clothes-minded neighbors with the camera is that now they've made you feel worry over something that's legal there. That is wrong and I hope your attitude improves. You didn't do anything wrong and they made you suffer for it. I wish they'd move. Once the neighborly trust has left, it is tough to recover it. The best of luck.

Clothes-minded, oh damn, that's funny! Did I just make it up?
