You've all forgotten the lovely odours from the nearby brewery and sewageworks. And being a stopping-point for the local icecream van. Janet. |

Netherlands, where they seem to avoid using both in their "beer" making process. Try living near an oil refinery! and sewageworks. And being a stopping-point for the local icecream van. LOL! How could we forget that? hail stone and cats on hot tin roofs road drills on a hot summer night goods trains shunting all night in the initially inexplicably cheap hotel in Garmisch Patenkirchen and the couple in the next room in a hotel in Turin........ -- Martin |

I created an annoying water feature to block out the following: Next door neighbour shouting obscenities to her children all day long, starting 7 am Other next door neighbour has a noisy shower pump that rattles our house 6 am First next door neighbour has an echoey washing machine that spins all my blood cells when I'm in the garden Results of a multi-cultural area - 2 houses of South African students holding all night and following day parties as soon as it gets hot 2 Carribean neighbours doing the same all year long Taxis hooting when they arrive rather than knocking at the door, any time of day or night 2 dogs of unknown residence barking to eachother all night long Icecream man DOES stop outside our house every day g Street repairs starting at 8am on a Sunday Car repair shop drilling or something from 8am to 8pm Planes overhead (but not too low or frequent, we can always talk without a problem) Police helicopters buzzing for half an hour or more, always when I'm trying to get to sleep. That IS loud. Lately, my own daughter contributing to the cacophany now she has moved on from Spice Girls to rock - HELP! And my cats - I've been able to accomodate all their bad habits, but I can't bear the sound of frogs screaming when the cats play with them. I'm usually home, though, and can rescue them. I nearly forgot, we have a bagpipe player somewhere, not too close, and he or she sounds very good. No unpleasant whiffs, but we do get lots of interesting cooking smells around here. Well, my tiny garden is quite a sancturary, I'd go mad without it! ******* Barbara Pick out the stones to email me ******* |
