My neighbours are lovely people and generally thoughtful and kind. But…. I'm sitting on the patio with coffee and newspaper and all I can smell is that stuff you put in tumble dryers to make things smell “nice”. Again. It's the only thing I can smell out here just about every time I sit out as their dryer is in what used to be the outside toilet, so rather close. There are five kids next door (tots to teen, all charming and polite) so I realise there's lots of washing, but they never seem to use their washing line (that may change when prices go up again, I guess). I don't think they notice as they seem only to be in the garden quite rarely. I'm fed up with the smell - it totally masks the very scented roses I chose to plant around my sitting area. Don't think there's anything to be done as they are nice neighbours, but the rant has got it off my chest!
