That's really nice Karen, the pond looks like it has always been there :)))

Thank you M...it was definitely the right thing to put in that corner wasn't it. I am so pleased with it...really chuffed. Can't stop going out to have a look.

That's so nice Karen - wish mine was this nice!! I can spot a rainbow cobble too :)))) Cobbles look excellent

You deserve to feel pleased with it Karen :))

looks fab karen now and settled in really well, dont blame you keep looking i do that with mine to haaha

Thats delightful I love it.

Thank you all so much. I'm so happy that you like it as much as I do! :)) I am so glad I did it now. I have been 'pondering' it for two whole years.....! :))

I think your 'pondering' looks great Karen. :o)

Looking so good Karen :-)

It looks so good makes me want to put back the big one we took out lol....No No No dont do it!! remember all the problems you had last time......I know, but, No, your not doing it....... ok you have talked me out of it....phew!! lol

Lovely view, Karen. I agree with Michaella...it looks like it's always been there. :))

Thank you Karen! :)) x DD.....why did you take out your pond? Don't you have a pond at all any more? I might have to talk you in to one! :)))))) Thank you Richard and Linda.. I seem to have a knack for unintended 'puns' which is a bit embarrassing!

I agree with the girls it looks like it has always been there. I can imagine you popping out to look at it from different angles ;O))

It looks really good - so glad you have your pond at last. I would miss mine, had frogs/toads not quite sure which yesterday they were playing piggyback in the pond, think maybe they were two toads and one frog. They were enjoying the water whatever they were. I can only tell when they are out of the pond and can see them properly. I do know the difference but the plants were obscuring them just a tad.

Yes, not always easy is it.

Karen we took it out because it looked rubbish, never managed to get it right, it sloped horribly, awful design, so we now have a whiskey barrel which looks fine, much better than I thought it would...when I have my design hat on, I shall come up with something, (poor OH,) I want to take the decking away, next big adventure!! watch this space lol

Oooooh.....eeeeeer! Big works being planned then! :)) I think it is very hard to get a pond anything like natural looking. They seem easier to do when they are really formal...rectangular etc... but I don't like that much I must admit, and it wouldn't work well in our style of garden would it?

Next is a stream running around the garden eh Karen...!!

lol...Crissue....in my dreams! :))

Pond is looking very pretty, Karen.
You worked hard on this area ...
.. yes, Sue ... stream next... Lol. ;o)

I was thinking more along the lines of a 'sky garden' like Dermot at Chelsea last year.....I need more planting space, and imagine the fun I could have peering down on my neighbours! :)))

Lol. Maybe warmer temperatures up there too ..
heat rises and all that ..
you could grow tropicals ...;o)

lol.....lol.....don't encourage me...I might try it! :))
