Blog update.

Wow that pond is superb! You could run quite a good business breeding goldfish and koi and selling them to the pet shop!

Good luck with that paving, it may be slow work but should look good when it's finished.

Now if I'd have read both blogs before commenting I'd have known you'd sorted out the size of your pics, never mind you got there and thats what counts.
I am mega impressed with your handywork, its time consuming but your cobbled area looks great, the pond is certainly well stocked and I like the planting surrounding it, is the summerhouse near to the pond, must be a lovely place for relaxing when the work is over for the day...

Hello Lincslass.
I suppose for all you people who have been on here for sometime its all second nature by now but I'm just getting familiar with the way things work lol. In answer to your question I'm afraid that the summerhouse doesn't look directly into the pond although it can be seen from a distance. I intend to make a stone or decking area directly above the pond just big enough to put a small circular table and two chairs on . The kind of thing you see outside French cafes. I know it sounds terribly chic and romantic but it remains to be seen if I actually get round to it, ha ha.
The summerhouse will fulfil many purposes . Somewhere to banish the kids to when they get too noisy, a music room, a wine bar and somewhere to take refuge in when the inevitable shower comes when I am Barbecuing.

It won't take you long to pick it all up Barney and yes it does become second nature, you are going to be busy then with all your plans, sounds good to me, there's nothing beats relaxing by the pond on a summers evening, lots of us have an arountuit list, its part and parcel of being a gardener, lol.....Stay on Goy for a while and that list just grows ever longer as will your wishlist of plants and shrubs..

It might be slow but it will be worth it in the end.
I like your pond :)

Now I've seen this blog I love your pond and all the fish. Bet it gets lots of other inhabitants too, I would spent ages just sat beside it and watching, does it show that I'm just a bit envious? Enjoy it all, and your cobbles may be slow but are very effective :)

Hi welcome from me have only just spotted you I will watch with interest your progress am adding you to favorites that way I will see all.
I also like the cobblestone effect

That's a really special pond (Hi, fellow Yorkshireman!)
