Default New Gardener, not got a clue !!!

Hi,

Can anyone help on a simple question and my problem.

My next door neighbour has 'kindly' built an extension next to my house, which means I am now staring at a boring wall when I look out of my kitchen window.

My idea is to place some trestles on the wall and add some climber types of plants.

It is a shaded area most of the day, only getting sun about 3pm for about an hour to 2 hours. The 'soil' is basically clay, so I would need I think a hardy plant with these conditions.

I'm thinking of some kind of an 'ivy', but don't know where to start.

Any tips, advice or pointer would be appreciated.
