For sometime now the cascade has leaked water – been all round the pond took the cascade apart relined it and cemented rocks in place ..under guidance as Jane only just forgiven me for installing the hose for the pump through the flower beds !

Seems to be working fine now and dont think it too obvious where I dug !


Jane not the only one who gives instructions though …


I ve waited all day to get this spot if you dare turn on that water …


Sorry fella but I ve waited weeks to do this ..Whoosh you ll love it !


Oh you swine I m drenched it ll take me hours to dry not to mention what you ve done to my hair ..


oh no ..what happened to my comb over ? Cant expect me to woo the ladies looking like this !


Thats a bit better I ll go for the Mohican look ..


Oh my Dad you do look a sight


Quite nice in here once you get used to it


Where you going Dad ?


Sssh son – you carry on playing I m going to hide here to dry off in case that fool got something else planned for me !

Oh, poor little blackbird, how embarrassing to be caught on camera looking like that! You are wicked BB :)
Lovely blog.

15 Jun, 2009

 

Thank you .. I should point out that no birds were harmed during picture taking the blackbird came back and bathed in the cascade AFTER I d turned it on ! as if I would ..

Toto your Wren pic must have inspired ours ..as you can see ivy all over the wall and never sure where they all are but home to find 3 fledged sat on the fence waiting for mum by time got in and sun setting over fence didnt make for easy pic but got one or two.

Great blog Bb and smashing photo,s,pleased you got it sorted whilst Jane wasn,t around, it all looks amazing.....

15 Jun, 2009

 

That was fab... It was just the tonic I needed after a bit of a traumatic day Many thanks. Sue

16 Jun, 2009

 

Thanks Lincslass - she wouldnt have been impressed if she d caught me swinging buckets of cement over the pond !

Sorry you had such a traumatic day Grannysue - glad it gave you a smile :- )

16 Jun, 2009

 

lol fantastic blog BB.
wow your pond looks fantastic.

17 Jun, 2009

 

I remember so well when you were installing it. Bb. You should post a blog on 'before' and 'now'. It all looks as though it's been there for years!

17 Jun, 2009

 

Thank you Eileen ..think I ll leave it alone for a while as been moving this , changing that lol

Thanks Spritz the biggest surprise is how fast pond and aquatic plants grow ! The marsh marigolds and bullrush just went mad and lysmachia seems to cover a lot of the crevices

I stored original photos in one of those on line security files and cant seem to retrieve them !

17 Jun, 2009

 

Only just seen this Ray, very funny! Pleased you've sorted the pond - it looks so natural, hope you're in Jane's good books now.

19 Jun, 2009

 

He he Dawn .. you must be joking how does a man get in one of those lol ?

19 Jun, 2009

 

I'm unable to answer that one, lol.

19 Jun, 2009

 

great blod loved it thanks...;-))

20 Jun, 2009

 

What a shame you can't do a 'before' and 'after' blog, Bb. You'll have to have another try at retrieving your photos! I'd love to see a blog on your cascade and pond....please??

21 Jun, 2009

 

Will try Spritz..certainly cannot believe that just under a year ago this area was just scrub...with a margarine tub as a "pond" ! Lol

21 Jun, 2009
