    Security guard here. Couple of suggestions: 1) call the police before you go outside to investigate(get your back up coming) 2) keep a distance between you and the person you're engaging. You don't want the person to suddenly be able to grab or stab you. 3) carry either mace/pepper spray/bear spray with you
    That way if the person charges you you can spray them and retreat into the house. Make sure whatever you decide to carry is legal in the U.K. 4) even if the person is a woman do not under estimate them treat them as if they were a man and keep your distance.

      You forget that this is the UK....mace? BEAR spray?! Non of those are legal and bear spray...seriously....there are no bears in the UK.
      Its also pretty normal to check what is happening before you call the police.
      Could be a wild animal, a drunk neighbor or anything non threatening.
      The police had more important things to do then make housevisits to anyone who heats or sees anything out of the ordinary.

      Great advice! I got scared to see him go out to confront the creep with no self-defence gear. Men often think they “can handle it with bare hands” but what if the intruder had a knife/gun? Pepper spray is not just for women - it’s a brilliant, no-contact self-defence tactic.

    I suspect "Emily" and the flowers (which looked like they were ripped out of someone elses garden) was just a ruse. His vague responses triggered red flags. He was, as we say in the US, 'casing the joint' to see if you had anything worth stealing.

You are at a most vulnerable position and could be attacked for them to get into your house. I live in South Africa, where we do NOT go outside when there are intruders, so now what criminals do is intentionally make a noise or cause some kind of havoc forcing us to unlock our doors and go outside and we get ambushed. Next time, let the cops handle it please.

    The glaring issue for me would be that he was in your backyard (garden) instead of at your front door, ringing the doorbell like people normally do when they are calling on someone. If it was me looking for 'Emily' I would expect her to be (inside) her house waiting for me, not in the backyard (garden) where it's dark and I couldn't even see her if she was standing there. I have visited friends at their home countless times and not once did any of them ever say, "Meet me in my backyard (garden) in the dark.
    One further point, he was holding flowers that look like they were pulled out of the ground and still had the roots on them. Most people would have flowers in a vase or in wrapping paper to look presentable.
    Too many issues with his 'story' that don't make sense. I can see going to the wrong house, that's possible. However, most people don't go to the wrong house and climb over a wall. They go to the front door.
    Anyway, I'm glad that you are safe and nothing serious happened. I would certainly keep the plate number close by and watch things the next few days, and maybe share your experience with the neighbors in case he comes back.

    Its crossed my mind before that your house is very open to view from the road. Maybe some kind of hedging at the fences, to block the view of the sides and back of the house. Some 'No Trespass' signs and an audio of a big dog barking. Put some camera's and sensors in the driveway. IMO he was lurking with intent, checking out the summer house. He had already clocked the vehicles in the driveway, so he was seeing what else might be up for grabs (he was driving a van). He could have been watching you through the windows! The flowers looked like he ripped them out of someone's garden. He was sketchy and up to no good. Glad you and Sherpy are safe.

I grabbed the nearest object I could use as a weapon (a heavy salt candle holder 😂) and ran out the door after him. He leapt off the side of my porch which was quite the drop and took off with me in pursuit. I let him go when he jumped the fence because by then I realized I was a small woman chasing a big possibly armed man with a candle holder and he would realize that eventually😂

      I'm a Grandma with 40 years experience cooking roast dinners. Good roasties need the right sort of potato, a hot oven and regular basting with th oil/fat. I start them off raw, round the meat in a generous roasting tin, then transfer them to a separate pan later when the meat comes out. Save some of the meat fat for the gravy. Alternatively, you can pre-boil the potatoes the night before if you prefer, cover them in oil/fat when drained and still hot and add a light dusting of Bisto powder. This will save you a bit of time and energy next day.
      As for the Yorkies, I actually find nowadays that I get good results with the Jamie Oliver recipe every time. I hope this helps!
      So glad you and Sherpa are safe and yes, your dinner looks amazing! ❤

    Maybe because I'm American, but my first two thoughts were: stalking Emily or using excuse to rob place. Who has a midnight date & why didn't he just knock on the door if he thought it was legit. If he was there to rob he probably froze when the lights came on & the pulled flowers were an excuse. Where I live you never challenge someone since they can have a gun. We stay inside, call our 911 and let the cops deal with an intruder. But you are so good hearted you never thought bad of him. It's why we followers love you & Sherpa.

There's a scam going round of one person ringing the bell, asking the person who lives there to exit the house for whichever reason, and while the first person is being a distraction, a second will come round the back to sneak into the house and steal whatever they can. Glad this wasn't one of these, it did cross my mind when you went to talk to the guy, I'll be honest.
    Might do good to be on the lookout for a while to see if this one comes back now that he has the lay of the land, too.
