I really do love the new place we have moved into, it’s just the right size for us and it’s in the perfect location but we really need to go buy some new cheap blinds for the dining room. I liked the idea of having big patio doors that lead out onto the back garden in the dining room, but I didn’t take into account just how unprivate our back garden really is – the neighbours seem to practically live out in their back gardens and they can see right in to the dining room, kitchen and living room from where they sit. The garden is also accessible from a main road so any one who stops by can just wander round the back and be stood right at the back door if we don’t answer the front door for some reason – which we often don’t – I’ve already been scared half to death by looking up and seeing my sister in law, the postman and a salesman stood there.

So yeah, it’s a shame because I liked being able to see out – but we are definitely putting up a decent blind so that we feel like we have more privacy again.
