Just another swimming pond update

September 6th For the last two days the weather has been very sunny & I felt I really needed a break from hard physical work. Forgot to mention on post below I put down a 8x6 concrete base for a new garden shed need to get the garden items out of my workshop. A lot of my time has also been taken up with the stone wall around side of pond the top is a combination of beach pebbles & shells. Reed bed it really starting to look good so pleased with the finish  hovering over the pond has been a double winged Southern Migrant Hawker Dragonfly goes to fast to take a photo of it but a real joy to watch.
Today been foraging for sea cabbage on Instow second beach as we call it a much quieter beach I said to Ros when looking out to sea this is what we have moved down here for, love to have a sea fix. 

Yet another swimming pond update

For the last few weeks I have been pushing hard to get rid of the building materials & get them laid. I cut & fitted well screwed down the decking put in the wiring for the water feature & also the small pond pump & put down the pea gravel that is the different colour due to sand being on it so waiting for rain to wash it down! During a damp start to the day on Tuesday I started to get to get the wiring into the summerhouse just need to finish off the rest of the ring main around 11am the fine rain stopped so fitted the balustrades to decking & also the solar light columns also picked up four solar decking lights which I need to sink in. Still some jobs need tweaking to the board walk side but have been waiting for pond to be filled up so I can hide the last of the rubber lining. Had to take a photo of one raised veg bed my Ros has got green fingers with the seed planting the photo shows all the salad leaves which is growing so well despite us getting closer to winter! also shows garden cress, her runner beans have been wonderful had so many boiling's I do all the digging & preparing the bed due to her osteoporosis we are both thrilled with what she has been growing & taking the pressure of me to plant them.
