Who is our neighbour?

We are very aware that a substantial new neighbour is heading our way.

There is a half-hectare or so block of land behind us that is being developed - and has all the neighbours going with a version of who and what. First inkling for us was when the wall behind our house was demolished - and replaced with something akin to the Great Wall of China. Our kitchen turned into a very dark little breeze-less hole ... until Noworries, son of landlord, came to the party with some translucent roofing. We have light again, if not wind.

Next, palm trees have been trucked on, ready for planting. 'A hotel', say some. 'A mansion' say others. 'Night and day noise' say us. It is going to be a handy 6 weeks to be back in Aussie and NZ (starting Feb 20th).
