Pondage Part Two

One new liner later, we start lining again. Our neighbours generously give us their old carpet to go with the old papers under the liner. Nice one.


Edd takes charge and lines the pond, while I annoy him by taking lots of photographs and getting in the way.


Huzzah! Now there's plenty of liner to get in our way, so we embark on a tripping over things and filling up pond adventure.


While we wait for it to fill up we enjoy tea and cigarettes, and hope and pray that the liner doesn't leak.


The pond has been filled, left to stand overnight and doesn't appear to be leaking. So we chuck some plants in it.


The fish weren't too chuffed with their temporary paddling pool, but seemed most happy when they were introduced to the pond.



We raided the garden centre and got boulders and stones for the waterfall, and groovy grasses and a Japanese maple to hide the dodgy bits.


Now for the stone edging and waterfall thing. We should have done this before the fish went in, really, but time was a problem. Edd has had his hair cut.


Concerned that the filter we had was a bit poxy, my dad gave us this absolutely enormous all-singing and all-dancing filter. Isn't he lovely :o)
