Wildlife pond

Saturday 15th January 2022

We bought this small tin bath to turn into a wildlife pond at the cottage a month or so ago. Today we started the task. In fact it wasnt as difficult as I thought, we took out a large shrub and dug a hole for hte pond, then I scoured the neighbourhood farm for suitable Cotswolds stones for the outside and inside. Off to Dobbies to get some plants for around the edge 9which we will put in tomorrow) but no luck on the pond plants - its a bit too early in the year I think that may have to wait a month or so. Still some work to do but very pleased with ourselves.

I also planted up Charlotte and Elliott's Christmas tree, it looks really good but not sure that it will be transportable at Christmas - it might just have to sit in my garden with some lights on it!
