I can so relate to that exposed feeling. Some years ago the council cut down a big cherry tree on the verge outside our house (during a snowstorm). Apart from being devastated at the loss of such a beautiful, apparently healthy, tree, we were suddenly left with a clear view from our kitchen window to the pub across the road, which meant that any drinkers sitting by the front windows could look straight into our kitchen.

That's disconcerting! In all probability, they're NOT looking, but, if you're like me, you're always aware that they MIGHT be.
