The pond

 We had a  quite a lot of rain last winter and one of the 'to-do' job has been mending the pond. 

Quite a lot of  a side of the pond got washed away . 

 

 

 

 

 

So a few stones and a few (!) barrel-loads of soil and  the pond has a side and  the fence posts are hopefully protected from the soil around them being washed away . The plan  , whne the pond is ow next spring/summer is to put a load more soil on the bank, up to the  existing height. If stuff regrows and the roots stabilise the soil and help prevent it being washed away , it should last a few more year.s

 





But we've had quite a lot of rain in the last 24 hours. 

heres the pond as it currently is 

My nice little stone wall  is at the far side of the pond, under about 3 feet of water.

and, for what its worth is the water flowing into the pond. 


  When the rain stops, and the flow decreases , what remains of the wall may reappear.
