sat down, outside, in the warmth, enjoying the view when we heard a vehicle coming up the track, which then went down the access track.
A big police 4 x 4
And then they came up our drive. Most unusual, as they have to be invited onto your property. They cannot and do not, normally, come onto your land/house/garden, without your permission.
But no, up they come.
We have a denoucemente
You have been cutting down trees on your land. Erm no, we haven't.They pointed and said you have been cutting trees on that land.
Not ours
Phew.
It's idiot next door. Moron has been cutting down trees, which is not allowed, verboten, very very strictly controlled, especially if it's cork oak trees.
He is in deep, very deep, doo doo
So off they went, drove up his drive to the second gate and hooted. And hooted. And hooted.
They always think that if they don't go out, the police will go away
Words were said, too far away to hear and then the police came back, onto the access track to have another look.
The penalties for cutting down trees, without permission, are enormous fines and imprisonment.
