Fruits Of Labour

Category: Miscellaneous | Posted: Mon Apr 30, 2007 8:12 am

Wow, another month gone! But the fruits of my winter gardening labours are now paying off in technicolour.
26 new goldfish in the pond (populated in small numbers over the last few weeks) - even a newt has taken up residence, so the water quality must be up to EU standards! But I had to install a net due to possibility of an easy breakfast for the herons.

...and, further afield, this is a place called Holdstone Down - somewhere I go for fresh air and exercise. This coastline has the highest cliffs in England - quite dramatic.

...oops - forgot to carry a stone up with me for the pile. Seven years of bad luck now!

Is it really the same pond area :) You deserve this show Pete after all the hard work you put in. It's a colourful tapestry, I bet the new fishies appreciate it also.

I wonder if you took a rock from the heap at Holdstone Down what would happen?

Oh Pete what a difference!! Your pond area has certainly some on in leaps and bounds.
Your 'heron' looks as though it's right at home now doesn't it? Well placed. Netting the pond is certainly a good idea when you have fish. Herons may be beautiful birds but they can empty a pond in no time.
