    The supplier sent a free magazine with the order. I spent lunchtime yesterday saying " ooh, that's lovely2 , and "Oh I haven't got that one....."

    I imagine the supplier had the magazine specially printed for you knowing his future looks rosy!

    Got the final bit of the pond in place today. The sleepers arrived to build the bridge. I have new found respect for bridge builders! Trying to manoeuvre a hardwood sleeper across on your own without it falling in and tearing the liner is no easy task believe me!

    The sun has also brought our first arrivals, water boatmen, pond skaters and various other beetles. Lots of excitement!

    I like the Erythronium - is that 'Pagoda'?

    It is, succumbed to the delights of the local wildlife trust’s plant fair at the weekend!
