I dug a deep hole and bedded in the obelisk the wind blew over. I thought the digging might bugger up my back only it didn't. It's unreasonable, I can bugger up my back by shifting ever so slightly in my chair but I can dig a deep hole and my back is fine. Ah, well, I'm not complaining.
The obelisk will support a couple of clematis. At present they're tiny little things. Our neighbours had clematis which spilled over the fence onto our patio- which, in season, was like a breaking wave of pink and green- and we were very sorry when they rooted it up to make way for their extension.
From our point of view there's this to be said for their extension that it shelters a corner of our patio from the wind...
