Bendy conifer from the other side

Are these in your garden, Fran? My neighbours had conifers like these in both back and front garden when I moved here but, fortunately, took them all out before they moved - much more light all round :)

no, Gee, it's just beyond my fence, which is a small chicken-wire affair just in front of it. There's a belt of trees and shrubs along the back of our gardens, closing them off from the open ground beyond.

The fact that there's only a token fence shows how secure they make the gardens! Also there's a steep slope from the open ground to the fences: it's very hard to get up, as I found out! The growth is so tangled, and the planting so dense, that I had to fight my way up - and even then I could only reach next door's fence, I couldn't get to mine.

I suppose I'll have to prune this side of them, as otherwise they'd overhang
