Default What is this shrub?

Hi All,

Thank you for your replies.

So, reading your comments you wouldn't suggest copying this style of
screening.

Attached are 2 pictures showing the area I wish to screen, pink shading
(we have a nosy neighbour) any suggestions?

I did think of putting up a wavy trellis...

Eh? The nosy neighbour is a horse?
You could take cuttings (now) from the buddliea you have (shrub with
purple cone shaped flowers) and stick them in the ground where you want
them to grow; they are probably the easiest and fastest growing screen
possible. But TBH I would not bother, it doesn't look to me like an
overlooked garden that needs screening; a trellis would be
inappropriate, to suburban for a rural boundary, and you also shut out
your own pleasant outlook, which would be a shame.

You're downhill of next door and nothing short of a 10 ft brick wall
will stop a determined spy from seeing in; so I would not be inclined to
do anything. Other than perhaps waving, loudly shouting Hello Mr Parker,
and holding up a camera as if they are the celebrity being pursued by
the paparazzi.
