I'm very lucky to live with a garden that is almost entirely private. I live close to a large gym but in summer when I use the garden a lot, the hedges are grown enough to shield most of the garden. The neighbours fences have had landscaping fabric to cover the holes that were visible previously, and the part where visitors can see me can easily be covered (although I rarely get visitors unannounced).

However, as I walked down my steps onto the grass, I suddenly noticed a slotted gap I have never seen before and could clearly see the shadow of a neighbour through it!

My neighbours can be observant (often mentioning "we saw you did xyz...") but I wouldn't say nosey. However, one of them was a little awkward talking to me after seeing me this one time, so I can only assume he was looking through but I genuinely don't know for sure. I am not bothered about asking and couldn't care less.

I will eventually cover the gap between the wood layers for their own happiness more than mine. For now, the mystery of "was I caught?" is unsolved! :)
