The pumps on the move again Libet!

24 comments


For those of you who saw my blog on the water pump…


will remember how hard it was to get it there, as I don’t do anything the easy way, and now all these weeks later I decided it looked wrong where it was and so moved it yet again.You wouldn’t believe how many times I have moved this in the past!I thought it would look more natural with the water looking like it was running into the pond, so had to put large bowl onto the pond shelf with the electric pump at the bottom with pebbles on the top .This took another hour as I had to get the bowl hidden from view but not too high so that the pond water didn’t run into it as the pump could have got clogged up.So I had to raise the bowl with small slabs to get it the right height which took absolutely ages. I am definitely a glutton for punishment!So now here it is and here it will stay! (for now, anyway.)


Don’t you just love my old man ( no not hubby!) He was a bargain from a garden centre and was being sold off for £15 as he is a shepherd with the dog at his feet and a lamb in his arm but the head of the lamb had been broken,but you can’t really notice this.My dear cousin had come over for a visit from his home in France and we all went to the garden centre for the day as they also do meals there and as it was too hard to resist, hubby bought it for me and hubby and cousin managed to get it into the little car and had to drive very carefully home as it weighed the back of the car down.I shan’t be moving this in a hurry!

Well done you! It looks lovely where you've put it, and now you've got it where you want it, the little shepherd can look after the pump, seeing as he has lost his wee lamb! Sounds like you had a grand day out with your cousin, it was good he was there to be able to help you both today! Now, what's next on the list m'dear!! As if you haven't enough to do!!;0)

When do you want me to start Stickie,I don't imagine we'd get any work done for laughing.I do so love Goy.Thanks Lil for your kind comments.I'll probably have to go back to look at yours again as i really enjoyed it.Thanks so much Stroller,it definitely isn't going to move again, I don't think my back would stand it! Elizabeth, were do you get that brilliant sense of humour and what an imagination you have and before long I will be agreeing with you and looking to the shepherd to keep an eye on me as well to make sure I don't move it!
