Why is there such a problem with this? Not all young people are bad or even do bad things, but the small minority who are or do really do blight our society and my neighbourhood. We pay our taxes, vote, work hard and do our best to keep our street tidy, so why do a small group of boys want to kick down my fence and verbally abuse my neighbours and myself when we remind them that they should be in school?To be fair it is a small group of them, but the damage is annoying as by the time Jamie comes home from school it is always dark and usually raining - thus it will not be repaired until the weekend when we should be enjoying family time together!
Oh well, Emily has a great world to grow up in, maybe yob culture and the complete disregard for other peoples property and life (in extreme cases but sadly it happens) may have passed and people may realise that God and does work in our world and can change our communities.
(The photo is an old one as my battery is charging on th camera from yesterdays damage as I need to email the photo to the local headteacher!The current damage is pretty similar!)

How annoying! That picture isn't nearly as nice as all those great ones of Emily. She's grown up even in the month since we've been away. What a sweetie! She has such a soothing presence in the room - and it even comes through in photos. Hope you guys keep well, and that the fence doesn't take forever to mend. [luckily he won't have to work in our climate right now. Today it was minus 40 degrees celcius (with the windchill)!].
Not again! Are you considering an upgrade to an electric fence yet?! Hope it doesn't take too long to repair.
