This is totally in hind sight as things often are. It wasn’t until after our recent water problem that we suddenly noticed something about the plants growing against our neighbour’s fence.
It’s been an exceptionally hot and dry summer with a few plants suffering as you would expect.

It’s looking a bit brown and some leaves have turned yellow and dropped off but it will come back next year.
In the other direction everything is lush and green
How did we not notice the contrast of these plants which are looking their best ever. We now think that they may have had their own irrigation system from the leak which may have been trickling away long before we became aware of it.
Here is our unfixed stop cock on our unspoilt patio, hurrah!
The guy managed to get this flat again and it looks much the same as it ever did with our patio remaining intact. We are so happy with this result.

So pleased for you. Are you on water meters.
Thank goodness we are not on water meters or it would have cost a fortune. We can’t be on water meters anyway because all four houses are linked to the same water system.
So pleased for you. Are you all on a water meter?
No water meter, thank goodness.
