Ambitious

Must confess it had never registered with me that Sheffield had a castle.  I had always associated it with cutlery in the industrial age.

Me either truth be known

While I did know Sheffield had a castle (it belonged to John Talbot at one point), I had no idea of the scale of it until they started excavating.

That's exactly the same as when I promised to replace the back fence

You found a castle in the back garden?

I had no idea of the scale of the work involved until I started excavating.....

An Englishman's home is his castle, but I've just been told that it looks like the mangonels have been at my garden wall!

Another wedding party?

Not a coach in sight!  More like too much rain and too much age.

I was going to blame the rain as well
How high is the ground on the other side of the wall?

About 18" higher, I think, but I've never done a careful measure.  My old wargame shed is just the other side of the wall!

It reminds me of places where I've seen water draining off higher ground through the wall

You mean Cumbria generally lol
