And (final photo of mine for the night) here's what the two sheds and the boundary wall looked like from my side as it was coming on to dusk this evening:

The branches on top of the right hand shed are really all that need removing now. They're proving a bit difficult because (a) some of them are growing under the slates, and (b) the roof doesn't look as though it would take my weight should I try to climb onto it. I'm thinking I'll remove the (unmortared) concrete blocks that are blocking the doorway, and see what the roof looks like from the underside, before I go any further...

Man, that stonework looks amazing! The wall looks so solidly built.

I only ever saw them the once. At the (in)famous Isle of Wight Festival, back in 1970

This was the one you saw Marty

Nothing Is Easy: Live at the Isle of Wight 1970:yes:

That weekend was absolutely crazy! 600,000 fans descended on the Isle of Wight. Fences were torn down, the sun hardly made an appearance the whole weekend, and the stage caught fire one time. But the music freaking rocked! 

With the passage of time, coupled with the fact that I was under the influence of 'Mary-Joanna' for most of the weekend, I'll have to admit that my memory of it is, to say the least, just a wee bit hazy in places. But it still remains the best rock festival I ever attended. :) 

Ask me which was the best act, and I'd be hard pressed to choose one. But the act I remember most distinctly was Leonard Cohen shuffling on stage in his pyjamas, in the early hours of the Monday morning, and giving a dazzling performance of song and poetry. I possibly became one of his biggest fans as a result of that performance. :yes:

That suggests the problem must be at your end, Albert....
