Cut my hedges last week & as ever - some of the top bits on next doors side unreachable. They have a gardener whose hedge cutting expertise is not exactly clever - so I offered to cut it from their side today & just finished it. At the same time ensuring the leafing over of the gap on their side is trimmed back so as not to obscure her 'view' too much. From her seat position she has a clear view (- but her kids not - while they are small that is).

Well guys & gals - seems the shit has hit the fan.

Hubby brought his mother home unknown to me and she apparently clocked me doing my garden in the buff. This is an elderly out and out devout muslim matriarch and she complained to her son about me.

Next thing I get a series of very terse emails from him complaining about everything - from the new fence & the time it took me to put it up, to my gardening in the buff and his fears his kids may see (no chance !!) and his mother being offended & on and on. Naturally, i apologised if I had caused any unintentional offence etc - but not good enough for this guy !!

So I sent him some retaliatory emails saying for starters he was an ungrateful git criticising me for work done by me at no cost to him re fence and he was aware of me doing work in the buff in hot weather ( perhaps he thought I / my wife were kidding when we said this?) - himself not helping by insisting on holding his kids up to look over the fence when I was on the patio ( a discreet placing of newspaper saving the day on a couple of occasions !).

My emails were met by more terse emails from him to the point where I said enough. Do not make any further contact to me by any means - I have blocked your email addys. Fuck off permanently - you have pissed on your chips.

Despite advising him of my 'no further communication' because of the attitude he was taking, I then get another email which I didn't respond to. Email said - ' You have done so much for us over the last 5 years - let us put all this behind us and call it quits and start afresh'. I suspect this is his wifes input - suddenly horrified at the prospect of no help on any front because of her husbands typical muslim male behaviour - arrogant, egotistical, stone-age standards etc. ( If anyone wants to shout 'racist' - feel free - I have lived in the Middle East amongst these people for 8 years of my life - i know how illogical their thought processes are by Western standards etc. etc.)

One thing is for sure, I will never need them for anything - but they have often called on me for all sorts of help.

Seems my chilli plant donation in the buff will now never come about.

Ever the optimist - let's see what comes about. Not holding my breath though !

OOps

Oooops indeed McSmoothie.

I can see a point in the maybe distant future where the wife decides my usefulness means the door has to be re-opened.

The amount of favours done by me and my wife to their family have been literally endless, from me building the kids garden swing / slide set up & concreting the bases in (would have cost them £750!), picking kid up from playschool several times when mother held up, looking after kid & granny when she went into hospital for 2nd kid - it goes on and on. She has no one else locally she 'trusts' to do this kind of thing and now her hubby has blown the friendship apart. She has told me in the past he does this kind of thing - explodes - and often he has the wrong end of the stick, then repents and tries to make amends as if nothings happened - even blew his best friend out in a similar manner 2 months ago. The guy is an absolute tw*t in my book.

If I'm crossed, I stay crossed and switch the person / people off

I'm not usually a person that uses the old "I told you so" line, but...

Good luck. I hope it all blows over for you.

Another thing that may be affecting them at the moment - it's Ramadan. They can only eat in the hours of darkness - now this is UK - so that means in summer now - after 9:30 pm ish and up to 4 : 30 am = up all night eating - nothing to eat or drink all day for best part of 17 hours - and this goes on for a month.

Thank god I'm not religious !! ( I have cousins who are / were priests !!)

Wow!
 

And I thought the Lenten season was bad when I was a kid and wasn't allowed to eat meat on weekends. I was forced to eat only fish as a meat substitute every Friday! Thank God I wasn't raised Muslim! :eek:

Well, I think I have just experienced the start of some form of reconciliation from the lady neigbour next door.

I was in the end of my driveway waiting to pull out onto what is quite a busy road with a long stream of traffic passing when a car stopped and flashed me to pull out. It was my neighbour. I waved to thank her & she waved back with a big smile !

Her husband however, can go and whistle as far as I'm concerned. He was out in his front garden Sunday in and out of his car - while I was up a scaffold adjacent painting my front bedroom bay window. I didn't even bother acknowledging the fact he was there.

Her, I will talk to - the hubby - no chance. Of the pair, she is the voice of common sense and reason.

The hubby is your typical, arrogant muslim male I'm afraid. Talks down to everyone, no respect for women ( demands his tea be on the table for the minute he walks through the door from work - imagine that ladies - if you had 2 small kids to deal with!!). To cap it all he holds anti-western views which I find disturbing for a guy who is a medical doctor working for our NHS. For example, he considers it is a small price to pay for a few western captives to have their throats cut for the activities of our troops in muslim lands and agrees with women being stoned to death. The chances of me ever seeing eye to eye with this guy are absolute zero.

There is some kind of devil in me today, but I just thought you could start posting leaflets or newspaper clippings with cheap flights to S.E. Turkey or Baghdad through his door. You might be starting a win-win-win situation.

From "Ask Annie"
 

In today's paper, 7/20/2015
Too funny, most of us wouldn't see a problem with this....:D

Annie’s Mailbox


Dear Annie: My wife and I are lucky to live near the friendliest, most helpful neighbors we could ask for. They are a middle-age
European couple who moved to the States two years ago.

Here’s the problem. They have a swimming pool in their backyard, and when they use it, they do not wear swimsuits.

When I am outside, I simply try to look the other way and ignore them. However, when they see me or my wife, they almost always call out
to say hello and start a conversation. My wife is not bothered by it, and will go over and talk with them. However, I’m not so comfortable.

My wife says I am overreacting, but I don’t think I should be uncomfortable in my own yard. Can you help?

— Neighbors of Lord and Lady Godiva

Dear Neighbors: You cannot stop the folks next door from sunbathing nude unless there are restrictions in your town. You also should not be
reluctant to use your own yard when the neighbors are out. The solution truly is a fence or perhaps shrubbery.
.

Back where we are from in the midwest of the USA it is illegal to be any place in public topless or nude. Even after we put up a 6' solid fence neighbors called the police. But in our defense the neighbors were told as long as we stay behind the fence there is nothing they can do.
Another older man on the other side of town used to go naked in his back yard with a tall hedge around it. Neighbor kids would peek thru the hedge. Old man Norton went to jail many times for that. Seems unfair that he was hidden from view for the most part yet kids and a few old ladies made a point in looking.
Where we've lived the past 21 years we've been lucky. We are in the country and the few neighbors don't mind us being nude. We even talk over the fence now and then.
Most people have sex with clothes on and in the dark. I don't think they were even born naked!

Well nigbo many of us are missing your stories about you and the neighbor. As for us we bought a small home in the city back in the midwest of the USA. Our days are numbered for going nude here in the Florida boonies. Been 21 years of being natural with no worries. Sadly more people don't understand that being naked can be fun and healthy without involving sex.
Even the two neighbor men and their dad in the next house say they are going to miss us....mostly Dollie and her boobs. They've been known to watch her sunbath and do yard work. Occasionally they walk over to the wire fence and talk to her when she's naked. She doesn't seem to even realize they are staring. Dumb blonde!

@ ModelT & MsDollie - sorry to hear you are leaving your boonies paradise. How come?

I don't think my 'situation' has finished yet. I am ever the optimist.

The neighbours have clearly realised what a big mistake they have made in alienating me. The husbands last email to me (ignored by me - I have informed him his email addy is now blocked) started with the words 'You have done so much for us in the past'. I suspect it was prompted by his more sensible wife. It is their loss - they have nothing I need on any front whatsoever.

The very words he used at the start of the email show me how arrogant and out of touch the guy is. It clearly shows he is thinking of their future potential needs with his choice of opening words. That alone pisses me off even more when his attempts at reconciliation are expressed in such a selfish manner. He has a very unfortunate manner which comes over in the words he uses in emails, texts and speech. It's as if he doesn't engage his brain to think of the effects of his thoughts before he 'communicates'. His wife has described this to me several times in the past as his unfortunate ability to read something in the wrong way, get entirely the wrong end of the stick, explode and make all around him suffer - then later on when he does see the correct situation try and smooth things over as if it was no big deal and everything is hunky dory again.

I can see a situation where the wife comes round to open up dialogue slowly slowly (there will be something she wants / needs behind it !).
At the moment she is keeping her head down presumably to comply with the overbearing arrogant nature of her domineering husband.
One thing with Asians - and especially male Muslim versions - is the importance of 'saving face'. He can wrestle with that forever. He's done as far as I'm concerned -- non-existent in my eyes.

One thing is for sure, I will still be pottering in the buff in my back garden and if they have guests who spot me - tough - it is themselves who have closed the door on working with me to let me know when they had guests so I could be more discreet. My patio area is completely hidden from their view - unless they peek over a 6' 6" tall fence or the pr1ck lifts his kids up (as he has done in the past!) to look into my yard. Somehow I don't think he will attempt that again.

Chilli plants growing nicely. Will she ever get to receive one??

Thankfully we've never had neighbors like yours. The next large city is filled with college kids, teachers, and doctors from every part of the world. All we've met are fine. Still as neighbors things could be different.
As for moving, we've suddenly aged and our kids back in the midwest offered to help if we move back. Also the few friends left from school days live near where we bought a small home. Actually it's a nice three bedroom place with basement and two car attached garage on 1/2 acre. Behind is a farm field and tall trees line one side.
Maybe we can put up a small privacy fence. Also there is a covered patio between house and garage. With a simple lattice fence in front we can sit in the nude and enjoy our final years.
Oddly once a nudist always a nudist. We still feel comfortable being without clothes no matter who is around. We'll just have to be more careful, like you. Still there are so many places around here in the country to go topless or nude for my wife. She sometimes forgets and removes her top in places she shouldn't. In all our years we've had very few complaints or problems. Luck and not making it seem indecent helps.
Good luck with the Chilli plants and your garden. It' relaxing watching things grow, whether in the buff or fully dressed.

A few photos of our Florida front yard near the dead end road. I can mow in the nude and no one cares.

Spotted her hubby in the garden the other day with his head in his hands. Looks like he is getting some grief !!

I can guess where it is coming from and the reason - his wife, and the fact she is returning to full time work in September.
This will leave her 2 young kids aged 4 & 2 at nursery school & the inevitable problems of fitting in school runs morning and afternoon with work commitments. The wife next door is a barrister and this involves court appearances. In the past, my wife has helped her out with this sorting kids out - but this can become somewhat of a chore when you are dropped on at the (usually) short notice.

Spotted her coming out of the neighbours house across the road on Saturday - 6 pm. I was waiting for a taxi with my daughter & grandkids. She waved & smiled, I waved back.

I guess she is now scouting for a new neighbour to put on for the times when she is needing help with kids collection etc.

Seems the only time she comes out now to the garden with the kids is when hubby is home. Must have put his foot down and being a muslim she HAS to obey - or else.

So, yesterday being a sunny day and my lawns want cutting, I did my back lawn in the buff with my 7" dangler. Spotted next door wife peeping from her part opened bathroom window (hubby out at work). She dived back when she noticed I had seen her.

No repercussions so far !!

Nice photos. In all the years I watched the young neighbor gal back home and we've been nude here in Florida I don't think any of us got photos.
In fact during most of our games and the places Dollie wears little or nothing I am too busy to take many photos. The ones I do take are at special events and usually because others are taking pictures.
It's nice to see people do get pictures of sexy things happening.
Your neighbor does have a nice smooth play area.
She sure looks a lot like an ex-neighbor of ours. ;)

Well, weather has been kind for this time of year in UK and twice in the last 10 days I have been out cutting the back sunny lawn in the buff with my 7" dangler - knowing wifey next door is home.

Both times she has been peeping from her partly open bathroom window. Again no repercussions so far.

Loving this story Nigbo. Pls keep it going.

I knew wifey next door would have to approach me one day - thanks to the parcel delivery man & her being out so I signed for her parcel and she came round to collect it.

No mention of her peeking on me - but a slight apology for the way her husband has behaved. Told her I have no problem with her - but she can stick her hubby where the sun don't shine.

Her only comment - ' I just don't know what to say'

Left at that for now - but at least we have spoken. Wonder if she will tell her hubby she has broken his rule on no contact?

Any updates Nigbo, or has your neighbour given up peeping. Love this thread.

Way too cold in uk at mo nobby for any buff outside stuff. Rest assured as soon as it warms up - on sunny days I will be out and about - especially when she is in the garden.

Looking forward to summer already.

How has this warmer weather been?

Hi Nigbo, just wondered if you have any updates for us. The weather in the UK has been very hot recently. Hope so.

If you are in your own home, how is anyone to know unless they are looking in your window? There is no law against being naked in your own home....but looking into someone's window....

new house
 

We just bought a new house, with a great backyard.
Pretty much the hole house and back yard including the pool are private
I said to V when were inspecting the property a few weeks ago prior to auction that it was a great nude house and she agreed.
Now V lets me take lots of photos of her and has been to nudist resort (out of sufferance) but really truth be told does not understand my obsession with being nude
I asked her last night what she thought about having one day a week as our nude day
We discussed that one set day a week probably Wednesday would be NW (nude Wednesday). This would be between the hours of 9.00 - 3.00 or while the kids are at school.
She reluctantly agreed and said she would see how it went and would be willing to give it a try.
I hope in 4 weeks time when we move in I have a few stories to start telling, I will start it off low key but as the weeks go on will up the nudity and the risk of being seen by the neighbours.
Timing will work out nicely here in Sydney with winter also drawing to an end at last

watch the space for hopefully lots of stories and photos to follow

Hi guys - still out gardening nude here in UK when weather permits. Been out there quite few times this year - today was one such day. Neighbour was out in the garden too with ano asian friend and her 2 kids. Hedge is now grown over - so no way they can see me now when they are in the garden. Had to smile to myself today though - spent 30 minutes mowing the back lawn - and she would now full well that I would be doing this in the buff. Not a mention of it to her 'friend' - I could hear then chatting away quite clearly - I presume she wants to keep the info to herself & keep others oblivious as to what her neighbour does gardening on sunny days. She can see me quite clearly if she goes to the upstairs back bedroom window.

Glad to see you back Nigbo. Love your stories.

Good luck mate

Went up to my loft office last week at 11:00 pm ish to shut off my computer which was doing a scan and happened to look out across 2 gardens away on the adjacent road to see next door neighbour but two leaning right out of her bedroom window - with her husband behind her moving ryhthmically back and forth !!

I didn't have any lights on in my office - so they were completely unaware they were being watched while they screwed away.

Age wise, i would put them mid to late 60s. I don't know them, since they live on an adjoining street. She's obviously a lot more daring than my missus!

Must be a regular thing for neighbour across the gardens - 11 pm last night, Sunday - at it again. Must make a point of watching that spot each night when I turn in. Might even shine a light - or a laser spot into their room. Latter may be better ! You never know, if they think they are being watched they may put on a better show - it would go one way or the other - could stop performing.

It could go both ways...

You will need to meet them socially and try and get a feel for what way it might go!

Well my muslim neighbours have really pissed me off. I have gone from having a back garden that was reasonably private & only slightly overlooked to being wide open to 4 houses on the side street 90 degrees adjacent to mine. That's ruined 32 years of privacy.
They have cut down 7 large conifer trees that shielded me / them from the neighbours at the bottom of both our gardens. I suspect it may be deliberate on the part of the husband who hopes it will stop me gardening in the buff - thinking I will stop because I am potentially on view to 4 more households. There could be another reason too - I am one of over a 1000 people who have signed a petition protesting about the attempt of the local muslim association to build an extremely large muslim community centre / mosque on greenbelt land near our village.

Yesterday was a nice day - so I cut my lawns in the buff - just to piss off my muslim neighbours.

You go for it Nigbo. Don't let narrow minds stop what you have done, way before they arrived. I wish you nothing but good luck.

since I can't access as nigbo due to non acceptance of my username and pass, have had to re-register as niggbo.

weird - I can now get access

Really hot here in UK last week - so I was watering the back garden in the buff last Wednesday afternoon (with my 7" semi dangler). As I turned facing the house, saw my muslim lady neighbour stood in her back bedroom window quite openly watching me - not peeping any more ! Totally going against her husbands wishes there !

Nice to see you back Nigbo.
