It is good to see the design, but it would be helpful for people to be informed of the names of the plants used.

Best plants to hide railway wall and to add kerb appeal

There's lots of great ideas for plants here, but I would strongly suggest you get answers to the following questions before you choose a plant/plants. - What direction does the wall face? - What sort of soil is there at the base of the wall? (Ask neighbours or post a photo of a spadeful of soil here which will probably let people identify the soil type) - Does water which falls on the tarmac run towards the wall or away from it? Walls cast a 'rain shadow' so if the water runs away from the wall that patch of ground is likely to be extremely dry. You would have to choose a particularly drought-resistant climber or be prepared to add extra water in some way. If you choose a plant which likes the conditions you have, it'll thrive. If you don't it will probably die and then you'll end up feeling like you're a rubbish gardener. Those Spanish Bluebells you liked are extremely tough though, and should do well wherever. ...also, if the conditions are right, I'd like to put in a word for my favourite climber, the evergreen and fast-growing Clematis armandii.

Best winter plants

As Bitsnbats so rightly says, there are plenty to choose from. A couple of winter flowering examples among my favourites are Jasminum nudiflorum, small, bright, yellow flowers sufficient to form a wall of colour usually January to March but out since early December this year, perfect against a north-facing wall, fence or hedge; Lonicera fragrantissima (winter flowering honeysuckle), a bush-forming variety so can be used as a hedging plant or free standing. Both the Jasmine and the Honeysuckle are wonderfully scented too. There are several Hellibore varieties for soft colours at shoe level in wooded or shady areas, often hidden until you get close, a nice surprise. Note the characteristics of where you would like to see the colour, such as aspect (i.e. which direction it is most open to, or completely open), amount of light or shade, soil type (heavy, clay, sandy, loam, acid, alkaline or neutral), whether support is available such as trees, other taller plants, wall, fence, etc, etc, or free standing. There are probably winter flowering plants for that situation.

Living in a rural area, none of the homes are numbered so we had to choose a name for our place. We got together as a family and threw some suggestions about. Eventually it was between 2 and we let the children decide. It was shortly after the first 'Lord Of The Rings' film came out and so the name they plumped for was influenced by that. I'm glad they chose it now as we get so many people commenting what a great address we have, especially paired with our street name - so, we live at 'Rivendell, Devils Highway' which, luckily, is actually as picturesque as it sounds and I think pretty cool
