today is lovely and sunny but rather chilly here in blackpool so after spending the morning with my son buying paint etc for his flat i came home to do my bookwork,,,, nah i thought get out there and enjoy the sun and get them rocks and pebbles around the pond, so i got going and knew i wouldnt have enough so pinched the slate rocks from around my rockery slop i did last year, i can always replace them later,i had enough large rocks but not enough pebbles so a trip to GC at weekend, i could go now but ive had enough for one day, so here`s a couple of pics to show you how its coming along, ive also asked a question about planting if anyone can advise me in the question section plez


the side thats not been done yet will have a flow of water cascading from slope all being well, so help from hubby with that one at weekend if sunny, he will get pump/filter going for me, hope your all having a good day to xx
