A lot of your fist dates must have gone well then! Hope you like flowers!
Ah yes, seem to remember you saying that before!I've got five large, mature oaks, to say nothing of the self seeded ones that are constantly having to be dug up!
Don't talk to me about leylandii.Wotabout a golden leylandi then? Grow fast as heck and much nicer colour than the others, but weaker if grown in competition with them.
We made a hedge of them, both colours, alternating, but planted too close together, 1 metre apart. It did the job but the golden ones are almost invisible.
We now have 85 of them to top,
We also planted two weeping willows and they are even higher. Really pretty trees.
Let us know what you decide on!
I've got a total of 100metres of them and they have grown so tall and thick over the 20+ years that I have to pay a specialist tree services almost £400 each year to keep them trimmed - they are about 14ft high now and about 8ft wide!! They form a side and a front hedge, the rear is mostly 'open' to take full advantage of the extensive 'hill' view with just a couple of low Lonicera hedges to make 'a frame' on the ends. The magpie residence was at one of these ends in the corner. The long hedge on the other side is a very wide, ancient 'country' hedge which I share with the farmer and he cuts that once a year with the farm machinery. My walnut tree is close to this hedge so that it will become part of it long after I've gone.I like the idea of fruit trees but have to think of suitability for the climate - self- seeding cobnuts from this hedge are another one of my battles!

(Not on leylandii!)We get our fruit bushes from Scotland to ensure they are hardy enough for life at 600 metres. We have never had a problem with them. And the fruit trees came from a nursery in the UK, most of them have flourished. They are the ones we make tons of jam from and litres of apple juice.
Best of luck with it all!
For Crimbo our parents have a Sausage vine
it’s different and they are sitting in their garages driving them nuts right now.https://www.rhs.org.uk/Plants/8776/Holboellia-coriacea/Details

Are those legs off centre, maybe to balance the centre of gravity of the table, or is it just the camera angle?
Nice idea but it wouldn't survive in our frequently waterlogged soil!For Crimbo our parents have a Sausage vine

Haha @Broke Again will defo want a sausage tree lol
I'm not ungrateful for your suggestions but the idea of having to make tons of jam etc. sends me into a meltdown! I'm not looking for work, I want a nice relaxed life to finish my days.OK, I'll shut up after this one last observation.

I do have blackcurrant bushes and they fruit very well but they are reserved for the blackbirds!!!!!
I would take a guess that near your evergreens the soil is pretty dry.
but just a different thought.
What do you buy for Xmas when the recipients have everything

NO NO. Apparently the tree version has poisonous fruit
