WITH THE FIRST signs of spring appearing in our neighbourhood, I headed to the local garden centre to get some trellis for a new project. I’d been concerned that switching from a family SUV to a smaller hatchback would result in less usable space, but my MG 4 easily swallowed four 6ft by 2ft sections of trellis. All I had to do to get them into the car was fold the back seats down, lift them over the low sill and slide them along the flat boot floor.
