happy first anniversary sandra...... may you hav emany more happy g o y years to come..... gla dyou are getting on ok with your pond..... looking back i think when i dug my first one i had the same sort of trouble and had to re do the liner.....that was 5 years ago..... made new one last year.... which is better.......... X

:o) xxx

Great knowing U San & heres to many more GOY yrs :)X

cheers holly, just looked at pond and its full of water again even though we havent had rain today, hows that? it could take weeks to drain :o( x
thankyou jacque great knowing you to my friend :o) x

what a lovely thank you San, your right what you say about having friends you never met, this is a brilliant site, good luck with your garden this year you have done so well so far. happy easter.

thankyou yorkshire and a happy easter to you to :o))

its the clay soil sandra.... no rain here but my garden seems to get wetter as the rain comes to the top.....dont know why.....it takes ages to drain away....

thanx holly guess its going to take some time to drain then, maybe get it done sometime in summer haahha

lol..... hopefully we will ge tsome dry weahter again soon..... as my garden is turning into a bog when i walk round it... : O ))

yes ours the same holly, the grass is a nightmare :o(

Happy anniversary Sandra the year as past really quick, can remember you saying hello to me when you first came on here, and its been brilliant knowing you and having a new friend, like you say everyone on goy are like extended friends even though we have never met any of them, but if it was'nt for GOY we would never have known each other and we live so close to each other aswell. I can see you having to empty pond out so you can do it again.
A very special happy easter to you and Baz
Carol xx.

thanx carol its been lovely getting to know you to my friend, pond is full and now where for us to drain it to :o( so not sure, may have to wait for nature to take its course, im gutted ,it all looks a mess at the moment, and if we get alot more rain it will keep filling up,
hope you have a happy easter to carol, take care xx

It always rains when we dont need it, pitty you dont have water butt you could bucket most of it in to one then last bit you could put one garden, anyway good luck with it, and fingers grossed it stops soon for you.

carol ive filled my green bin with pond water and got the rest out yesterday and pored down drain, it was empty, but its full again, holly said its the clay soil, the rain comes up from it, so no point trying to take it out again, have to let it go naturally now :o(

Thats all you can do is'nt it, if it stays dry for a while it will go down quick as in summer i'm always topping the pond the fish are in, the little one for wild life i just leave it to fill itself back up.

I year today wow! I have a long way to go lol, I already feel I 'know' you and i've only been here 18 days. Thanks for all your advise so far.

thanx carol :o) x
thanx great and your welcome :o)) x

yes i have megan and enjoyed it all, happy easter to you and yours to :o))

Where will you hang your trowel San? LOL

Time flies, I joined nearly 2 years ago. It is a great site, I agree. Sometimes I don't get on for days, but at the moment am managing to visit quite regularly. It certainly cheers you on these dark, wet days. And inspires you to get on when you just don't feel like doing anything.

Have a Happy Easter both of you! x x

baz said " do you really get a trowel " lol, i will hang it outside for all to see , does cheer us up i agree and helps get through winter, such fun, happy easter potty :o)) xx

Congratulations on your first anniversary Sandra, yours was one of the first blogs I read when I joined late last year and I`ve kept coming back. Keep up the good work. Happy gardening. :o) xx

happy Golden Trowel day Sandra...
i have enjoyed your pics , blogs, and comments....heres to the next year....;-)

As everybody else has wished you a Happy Golden Trowel Day I suppose I'll have to do the same or you won't wish me mine on Easter Sunday! LOL!!! :-D

Seriously though, I've enjoyed reading your blogs & your comments on mine & others' as well. Glad to see you've cheered up somewhat after your pond disaster of the other day.

Wishing you both a happy & relaxing Easter - the pond can take care of itself for a few more days.

Happy aniversary Sandra :o) I feel as if I've known you for many years lol

cheers phil ;o)) happy easter.
lol hywel ;o))happy easter
thankyou uma happy easter to you to :o))

Happy Easter Sandra, you do sound a lot more cheerful now, I know what you mean about being on here, its helped me get through some terrible times this last couple of years and yes I do feel as though I`ve gained a lot of friends, long may it continue for us....Congratulations on your Golden Trowel.........

thanx sue and a happy easter to you and yours to, its amazing how a chat to friends on here can soon lift your spirits isnt it , its really helped :o))

Dont you think its like putting your feelings down in writing,as sometimes it isn't always the same as expressing things face to face with someone,however close you are.,and there isn't always someone to talk to.On here you can do that immediately as it comes into your mind,and get support,positive comments,and
more often than not,make you smile,which really helps if things are a bit gloomy.
That is how I feel anyway,and I totally agree Sandra,it lifts your spirits.Long may it continue too.as would hate to be without it...Oh dear..sound like a therapist...Lol.

Hi San...Happy Easter to you all from both of us.My doesnt the time fly.Agree....its good to chat to friends we all make on this site...good to share times of trouble and times of joy ! Glad we know you..xx

lol sandra and thanx for you comments, always make me smile :o) x
aww thanx jane and ray to,, i so enjoy our chats and fun times, glad i know you both to :o)) xx

Happy easter Sandra, bet that twelve months has flown, its been lovely sharing your blogs, the ups and the downs. Here`s to the next twelve months.

thanx stroller its gone so fast but enjoyed it all, even when things dont turn out quite as expected lol, happy easter :o))

Belated Happy Anniversary to you Sandra,...soon be summer when all your plans come together:-)

thanx bornagain i really hope we have a good summer this year, i cant wait for all my garden to be finished and then i can enjoy sitting out there :o))

Me too, Mine looks horrendous:-)

Since joining myself, you have been a support and source of advice and comfort and for that, i am grateful.

It's great to be able to share in so many minds, gardens and lives and having people like yourself on here just makes it a better place to share experiencces.......good and bad!

Happy Anniversary:0)
