I spent almost all day weeding and cutting a few dying things back etc etc..even weeded the patio! The sun shone all day long, it was so hot and I could have jsut sat down and lazed about, but I’m glad it’s all done now.
It was good to get out and not think about the awful things that are happening all over the country just now.

Some pics of the pond

Fence with Ivy which got a haircut today!

Bee on the Watermint

Knapweed which had a haircut a few weeks ago and has produced a few more flowers.

Pics from the bottom of garden

Good blog Pixi. Cracking day on Tuesday, we got a lot done as well. Which is good because apparently they're forecasting a months worth of rain, for us, in the next two days. I'm sure your daughter has a sense of humour.....

The slates round the pond I got from a building site Paul..they were in the skip! lol :)))
Not much chance of the sunflower opening today SUe..its pissing down here again!!!!!!!!!!! Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!
The pond was actually the only thing I didnt attend to yesterday Lulu..needs cleaning out..now where did I out that duster? Hmm
Yes Guy..it's a garden for relaxing, meditating, contemplating etc..dont usually do as much work as I did yesterday lol..glad I did though..even weeded the patio! Ha! There's nothing behind the secret door but the neighbours extension...I did want to put the mirror behind it so if any nosey people peeked in (like you!) they would get a fright by seeing themselves lol.
Glad you all like it. Wish you could all come round and sit my the pond..wouldnt that be fun!

Lovely photos Pixi! As everyone else says, your pond's looking gorgeous, and the lovely red Rose is bloomin' away like a good'un! I love agapanthus, but I always forget about getting one until they're in the Gc's and then they're really expensive! Your daughter is really pretty, Pixi!
