Wildlife pond - Making a start



We decided this weekend we would make a start on the, long awaited for, wildlife pond. After doing the usual morning livestock duties plus a few weekend extras, we came home made a final decision on the size and position of the pond, quickly washed and changed and travelled 40 minutes to the nearest stockist of pond liners.
Once home we grabbed a quick coffee and cheese roll before starting the digging....but before we had a chance to start the rain came and looks pretty much set for the rest of the day.

So back to the kitchen, I guess, for more freezing and pickling. Oh well there's always tomorrow.

A wildlife pond was high on our list of things to do here. The boys spent many a happy hour pond dipping in our pond in England and can do the same here now. And I can waste far too much time watching the pondlife in the water, the dragonflies hovering over or the swallows swooping down for a drink. You will not regret having a wildlife pond!
