Your happiness shines through in this blog, San! ... Pleased you are feeling much better ... and the pond looks great ... love the way you've re-cycled the old broken pot ... :o)))

San, that looks great. What a clever idea to use those bricks to support the rocks! wish I'd thought of that! It really does look great now. What a pity you have heron trouble. That's why I'm not having fist...well, that and the fact they make so much muck in the pond. I hope you manage to hang on to yours this time, it's awful when you get attached to them and then see them being swallowed whole! So glad you are feeling better though, I have been thinking about you all day as I worked on my pond!

Nice to have you back San....Pond looks wonderful, can't wait to see it all planted up...glad you're feeling a bit better xx

Baz deserves a big pat on the back for all that work Sandra and what a great job he's made of it. Of course he couldn't have done it without you issueing instructions from your director's chair could he! How lovely it will look when all planted up but for now, just enjoy looking at it and planning :o)) So glad you're on the mend. xx

hi shirley just been on your blog haha,
im happy im getting better and happy Baz managed this for me, it helped me to not get upset joe going back today but he will be home in may for summer,
i love the old pot and hope it hold out, doesnt seem broken anywhere else :o))
Hi karen lovely to see you and glad you like it, i hate having the net but once on a frame wont be so bad, i can take it off while in the garden, i cant wait to see your pond i bet its fab as all your ideas, the bricks are a good idea and Baz is like that always thinking,, me im impatient lol, nice you thought of me while doing your pond thankyou friend :o)) x

:)) So glad you're better :)) x

hi moti and lily thankyou both for youe comments,
im doing well but was a bit frightened when they took me in.
Baz is my brick and even though he looks ill when i get ill with stress and worry he coped fine and really looked after me, got me through it all and then made this lovely pond for me, wont be long before im planting the area up :o))) xxx

thanx karen xxxx

Your pond looks lovely, I really like the pot idea x

Looks great Sandra and will look ever better when you get more plants and they get established

One well built pond, thats gonna last forever.
Love the Urn & the log for little creatures comfort :-)
Well done Baz & good health to you San x

thankyou anne, shelia and Wilinilli,
yes i put the log in so frogs can get out , they can drown when mating if they cant climb out with the male on their back lol, how awfull being a lady frog ;o))
feeling alot better cheers girlies :o))) xx

I know how they feel San, Lol.

Looks fantastic Sandra...Glad you are feeling better. Well done for Baz's hard work.

Well done Baz, glad you are on the mend San and love the pot cascade good choice! keep on improving and it will be all planted up in no time, looking great already :o)

Love the new pond San.and using a cracked pot was a great idea. Well done to Baz.

Pleased you are feeling better, its a nasty uncomfortable complaint isn`t it?
The pond is looking good, well done Baz, I bet he enjoyed it really San, its not really gardening was the way my hubby described it when we were doing ours and I queried the fact that he was enjoying the digging, lol.
You are going to have a whale of a time sorting out the surrounding area and watching the planting coming together, you`ll be adding things for years, I know that from experience, its like the rest of our gardens, there`s always something new to catch ones eye.
Its lovely San ,now all we need are some lovely warm evenings to sit by the pond and enjoy....

I can 'see' how that's going to look when established with plants, San. A good job there! Well done Baz. (Even though the little dears SAY they don't like gardening, they all come over to the dark side! My gardening-hater is the first to say "Gardners' World on tonight!")

Pond looks great Sandra, glad to hear you are on the mend!

lol willinilli haha
thankyou jem, neelan, grandmage, sue, nariz and nana for you comments witty ones to about our men and gardening.
iv been out this morning to check on the fish and they seem happy enough and calm so fingers crossed they will survive the transaction.
im already trying to think of planting in my head, will look through my gardening books for pond planting ideas.
need some pond hyacinth to as it grows fast and will help shade the pond in summer and stop string algea.
i was plagued with it last year but not the summer before when i hade plenty of floating plants.
rain here today so im pleased we.. i mean Baz got the pond finsihed yesterday :o))

Hi San pleased you,re feeling better and you new pond will be really lovely, my fish are coming for food but we,re still feeding wheatgerm pellets in case it goescold again, are you going to get normal goldfish or the ones with pretty tails

I'm glad you are feeling a little better San , don't try to do too much and over do it !The pond looks great , I love the use of the pot for the water it looks totally naturally, well done Baz he's what we say in Norfolk..
" A good 'Un " :o))

Hi Love the new pond, great idea for the old pot. Cant wait to see how it all develops over the summer. Good idea for the stones around the edge, we have paving stones which over time have moved and were looking for ideas for an alternative, think we may copy your idea! Thank you for sharing.

well done Baz, its looking great, glad you are feeling better San

hi pam i will get normal ones i think, i have two orange and one multi coloured left, so the multi one needs a friend, they seem to pair up with ones of their own kind i find, i love the fancy tail ones but i dont want it to be a costly or demanding thing, just a few fishies im happy :o))
thankyou Amy glad you like it to and he is "A good Un"
lol, i wont be rushing just taking my time over the next few weeks with plants, also need to plant up a few pond cuttings off seaburngirl that she kindly sent, they are in water and fine till i get round to it, and need to call pond place to see if water hyacinth arrived yet :o))
thanx Crv glad it gave you an idea for your for the edging, i will post another blog in summer to show what it looks like :o))

hi val thankyou, iv been passing on the comments and think his head is getting bigger haha, im doing great at the moment to val, :o)) x

Fantastic! I've been looking forward to your new pond

thankyou Lulu glad you like it, i think its about the size of yours,
garden isnt the same without the sound of water, so relaxing.
just need more plants now which will be great shopping for :o)))

Very professional. Congratulations to San and Baz. Keep healthy and fit.

thankyou so much costas, very kind :o))

Glad to hear your feeling better.The pond looks brilliant well done :))))))

cheers mark glad you like it :o)))

Your new pond is looking great Sandra I wish I had room for one. Baz has done a fine job on making this :-)

Your pond is brilliant Sandra, and well done to Baz for doing it so well. Good job he's a builder, so you don't have to worry about it not being constructed properly :o)
Good luck, and have a nice time with the planting ....

I hope you're feeling better now Sandra, and that you will continue to improve for the summer too :o) x

hi richard and thankyou, im loving my new look pond and really cant wait to start planting up lol :o))
Hi Hywel and many thanx, he has done a good job and even though it takes him ages i know its done right.
im feeling a bit better but still have some pain, i really need to get my test done but cant get hold of appointments to ask if its sorted, a pain really but hopefully wont be long.
still resting and getting rather bored with it now haha
thanx again :o)) xx

Baz is a star, you are one lucky lady, but you deserve it, glad to hear your on the way back to your old self, a brilliant job love it, cannot wait to see it all planted up......xx

HI Dotty and thankyou so much for such lovely comment,
Baz is my rock and without him not only wouldnt my pond be finished but i couldnt have coped with being ill alone, im getting a little better and my test has come through for 9th may so not long to wait :o))) xx

Hi Sand. Sorry you've been poorly again, but glad you're feeling better.
Haven't been on here for a while, trying to catch up, but finding it really hard as laptop seems to keep freezing. Well, I think it's the laptop, could be something else, knowing me with my 'no brain computer knowledge'.lol.

Pond is looking fab. Won't be long (and with your green fingers) before it will look stunning like the last one.
Well done to Baz! (bet he's secretly pleased how good it looks) lol. :o)

I love the pond. Baz has done a spelendid job. The large and small stones look like they have been there for years.
I will have to show hubby Robin these pics as he has not finished our pond yet.
Glad you are feeling better.

Hi Linda so nice to see you back, hope your well,
glad you like the new pond and think your right he does like it and his pleased with himself haha
my laptop was freezing like that and a friend added more memory, so maybe its that ;o))
thankyou sheila i love the rocks and cobbles also once the plants are in and grow it softens them alot and all look very natural, hope you get your pond finished ;o))

What a brilliant job Baz has done, I can imagine how pleased you must be. Glad to hear you are feeling better too :)

Hi Gee and thankyou so much, i couldnt be more pleased and stating to feel better to :o))

Hi Sandra, the pond is great! I wish I lived nearer cos we have so many goldfish we could have given you some! I am sure it will look very pretty when the plants get going.
We have just got our pond pump and waterfall going again, so OH is pleased.(We have a friendly electrician who helps us out)
We have two kinds of lilies but not many marginal plants - I am going to a garden centre tomorrow so may look for something.
Take care and dont overdo things until you are fully fit.

Hi Jane what a shame i guess yours have had plenty of babies then, im going at weekend to get another 3.
glad your pump and waterfall are up and running not surprised OH is happy,
hope you get some nice plants tomorrow, let us know what you get,
im alot better to thankyou and im going back to work next thursday only do two days now so should be fine :o))

How exciting Sandra, I'm dying to see how you plant it up. I didn't know you'd been poorly, but glad you're on the mend:-))

thankyou BA iv posted a few pics on some plants iv added and im feeling alot better to cheers :o))

Hi Sandra, nothing much to write home about today I am afraid! I am off to a smaller family centre next week so may be more successful there.
Yes our fish seem to breed - we are intrigued as to what happens to the older ones! Some do die of course, occasionally we can recognise them.
I would quite like a wildlife pond without goldfish cos they eat the frogspawn and toad spawn of course. But OH likes his goldfish. When we moved to this house, the removal men helped to catch the fish from the old pond!

jane i was reading that goldfish can live a long life around 20/30 years in perfect conditions,
have been known to live to 40 but not common,
even though they eat some frog spawn jane some do survive and maybe its part of nature keeping the levels down.
can you imagine how many frogs and toads there would be if no eggs got eaten lol,
we would be over run with them i think,
how good of the removal men to help catch them, its tricky and also trying not to stress the fishies out, i might go today if Baz wants to,, to see about my new fish, but i want them about the same size as what i have, especially the shubunkin as mine needs a friend haha.

Love the pond San...well done to Baz, under your direction of course...lol! A good job done, can't wait to see more pics soon. Hope you're feeling a bit better now, take care x

Hi Janey its comming along well now iv started planting and this time next year will look even better,
enjoying getting in the garden a but to but not over doing it, thanx janey :o) x

Sanbaz what a pond!!! It looks great and I hope you will spend many a happy hour pondering and enjoying it. Well don Baz too fab job looks Grande !!

thankyou so much jewells for your comment... pondering.. very witty lol :o))

What a great job you've both done on your new pool! :-))

thankyou so much Balcony, got 3 new fish and they seem to have settled with the others ok, no falling out lol :o))
