Oh has been hard at it! Clearing the pond that is...and did it need it?You can see the murky water, well that is nothing like it was. The dog got diaroaha (can't spell) from drinking out of it. They both came back orange coloured after diving into it!
We have a lot of frogs and toads that appear from under stones but the way the pond looked, it would never sustain any life in the future.
So the hours of standing in his waders (my Christmas present to him) have resulted in the island (right) which mat even give somewhere for the ducks to nest.
The piles of mud and weed have to be left for a few days for the pond life to crawl back into the water. But then we will have an idyll, believe me!
The garden is abundant with flowers and fauna, including the wagtail family who appeared last night, learning to fly the nest...
The spinach and broccoli and sprouts and leeks and parsnip and potatoes are all doing really well, keep watering every night is if a warm night or in the morning in overcast...
what a wonderful life.
Tomorrow I will tell you about the preparations for the bullock's departure.
