 A woman who made her neighbour's life 'hell' every time she watered her plants has been hit with a restraining order. Kim Porter-Wilson would take pictures of pensioner Ann Breen and sound an alarm whenever she tended to her hanging baskets in the garden. The 46-year-old also made gestures to Ms Breen's CCTV camera outside her bungalow during a nine-month campaign of harassment against her elderly neighbour. She carried out her relentless tirade of intimidation because she was worried that the water would run towards her pathway, the court heard. After constantly being photographed, Ms Breen, 71, became so apprehensive that she was forced to only water her plants at night. Despite using the cover of darkness to try and keep her greenery alive, Porter-Wilson continued to snap photos of the OAP outside her property in the quiet suburb of Caister-on-Sea, Norfolk. Norwich Magistrates' Court heard how Porter-Wilson would also verbally abuse workmen and deliberately cause parking problems in a lay-by outside their homes.

It specifically states that she must not film Ms Breen watering her plants and must not contact four of her neighbours, directly or indirectly. Matt Jackson, mitigating, argued the order was proportionate and that 'there have been no issues since my client was charged, and that is going back nearly 10 months'. 'The defence case here was accepting much of the conduct,' he said. 'But saying that it amounted to irritation and annoyance and does not cross into the threshold of harassment.'
