Now we are in April the under gardener is busy at work on a pergola which is to be sighted at the entrance of the woodland.  With the different levels of ground here this is not going to be easy, not to mention the difficulty of digging holes for the down posts which will have to be dug around tree roots.  However I think the finished result will look very good.  The wood has be purchased and we have borrowed a special spade to dig post holes with so now we are all set.
