I see from writing this that I need a lot of either large shrubs or
trees ( I am tempted to by quite mature trees to plant immediately,
what do you think!?)

No. Expensive, and large trees and shrubs in general don't settle as
well - they resent the disturbance. They may look good this year, but in
a very few years time their smaller neighbours will not only have caught
up but will be a long way ahead.

And you'll find a lot more satisfaction from seeing a 'baby' grow up
than from 'instant gardening'.

I have a snake bark maple which is about 8 foot tall - I planted the
seed only 4-5 years ago. I am really proud of that tree every time I
walk past it.

I have also thought abotu planting a few fruit
trees too.

Good idea. Fruit is generally quite expensive, and fruit trees can be
decorative as well as productive. Can't advise on what would be good for
you there. But consider growing things that aren't so easily come by in
the shops - don't go for say Granny Smith and Cox apples, but try some
of the hundreds of other varieties.
