Hmmmm ..... set me thinking. Can't do it due to a gas main running down the side of it.
Actually, if you lived in an area that is a bit hostile to people having large satellite structures then i suppose it could be a way of keeping people happy

The rain seems to be the biggest problem down here, in Yeovil.

The winds seem to come and go.
