My neighbour didn't buy the land the footpath is on. In fact she doesn't actually own the land at all...... it belongs to her husband's family. I think she just subscribes to the theory that its not their land so they shouldn't be on there.... full stop. She also has a VERY aggressive dog that she usually keeps chained up ( poor thing) but she lets it off the chain and opens her gates when its a Bank Holiday so that it can dash out to attack poor dogs walking by.
Are you starting to see a pattern emerging??!!! I think she might be Me's sister! (Only joking, Me!)
