Ta daaa!

Here is the final product - a beautiful pond with decking.  It looks like a bit like a diving board now, but after planting has taken hold this will become a beautiful quiet spot to observe the pond's life evolving.  We already have our first visitors/residents (other than Asha having a drink),  2 Waterboatmen have been spotted skating on the surface of the water and then diving deep.  For more info:  http://www.buglife.org.uk/discoverbugs/bugofthemonth/Waterboatmen

Planting begins at the end of October.  I'll have to borrow Granny's waders to get in and dig into the banks.  But isn't it beautiful?  Once the plants are in and things start to grow - its going to be so much fun next Spring as things start to unfold.
