Sorry that the links didn't work for some people. I hadn't used DropBox before. I think the two pics should be visible now. Thanks, Nick, for the clue that they were hidden from the public and I needed to tweak the DropBox settings.

The plant pictured is Trachelospermum jasminoides, it wont flower in the
location described and if it catches any wind the leaves could brown,
but its unlikely to die! a better choice would be Trachelospermum
asiaticum as its much tougher and has smaller more leathery leaves.

Another candidate would be Schisandra propinqua sinensis doesn't do much
in the way of flowers but excellant green foliage and not trouble by
cold certainly ok down to -18c (mine came from near Worcester)
