    The ground falls away by over a metre, the 3 posts at the back are 16' long, 1 metre in the gound to bring it level! And I live on chalk downland so the flints are pretty tough going!

    Not that it is any of your business Dai, but my mother is a widow because her husband, my step father since she re-married, is dead. My dad has an allotment, which he shares with my stepmother, his wife since he and my mam divorced many years ago.

    I only asked. I too have had a step mother and step father both of which are now dead, as are my biological parents, so don`t get your arse in your hands.
