No. Fairly near to a river on flattish land. I'm just off to give Young Demsey  some of my extensive knowledge regarding successful wisteria cultivation.

Sorry I was being facetious, the photos you posted made your house look like it was on a steep slope. 

 

But the wisteria is very nice. Hope your detailed wisteria briefing goes well with Mr D.

It's the guilt of being a roaring success that's weighed my shoulders down, hence the "artistic angle" of my photos.

Jeff,

I hope that's in someone's garden and not in the wild as its an invasive weed and should be controlled by the landowner, many don't.

This landed on my granddaughter earlier, scared the living daylights out of her. Sorry it's not a brilliant picture but if you zoom in you can see it has a massive black horn. Anyone know what it is and if they are harmful.
Cheers

Yep I reckon bee fly. 

 

As per the Collins complete guide to British Insects. They are quite harmless.
