Where was your pic from Dove? It looks very much like the one at Hylands House in Chelmsford
I found the pic online Panda - I chose it 'cos it really demonstrates how it works - it's from Titsey Place in Surrey http://www.titsey.org/ Never been there myself, but the grounds and walled garden look lovely in the photos, and as I'm particularly interested in British native and rare breeds I love the cattle too.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
They have one at Levens Hall. We had a sort of semi one in my ex's garden. The cows regularly pushed their way through the old wire fence, but there was a decent enough slope and drop that could have been made into a proper ha ha. Would have been nice as there was a lovely view. He had a stretch of beech hedge about twenty feet in front of the fence and that could have been removed.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

'You'll have had your tea then' - it's a very Edinburgh phrase - I know nothing about that....
I used to love ISIHAC many years ago. Not the same without Humph though

Jack Dee is no Humph but he tries. I still miss Willie...
Rushton!
It's ok - I knew you meant him Steve...
I love Jack Dee. Did you ever saw Lead Balloon...brilliant!

Yes. Very good. And nobody could follow Humph like him.
Amongst Willie's many achievements IMO was Superpig, a riposte to Shirley Conran's Superwoman.

Very amusing and, when I first read it, very useful.
...and it's not just in Clue. The Doings of Hamish and Dougal has its own 15-minute slot, currently on R4X.

The lovely Samantha - Humph really relied on her!
I'm going to rename the ditch at the end of my garden the Haha. It sounds so much more classy don't you think?
