    Of course I levelled it ... would have spilt my wine if it was wonky :yikes: :roflol:
    I suppose it was the *way* it was levelled :scratch:
    I lifted the left side UP to match the right side (my idea)
    I didn't dig the right side DOWN to the left hand level (Mr "M"'s idea .. oh yes, not forgetting you ;) :heehee: )
    Either side of it, the troughs give a reasonable idea of how the levels differed.

      Thank you :)
      Thank you :)
      It was lovely and sunny when I was working on it .. today is a different story :doh: Didn't stop me though ... put a warm coat on and sat there with a cuppa while the chooks were having playtime :coffee:
      That arbour used to be by my fish pond at my previous house; I would pad it out with cushions and throws and then sit in it with my back against one side, my legs along the bench and read: heaven!
      I had already planted some convolvulus major trumpet mix in those troughs and now they have been moved to the arbour sides, I'm hoping they will grow up and over it for this summer :fingers crossed:
