@Valley Gardener edited my comment above in case you missed it. It IS exciting! But its also a lot less difficult than you may think. Its basically a case of digging a hole, lining it and filling it with water!
A neighbour has just delivered my pond liner,it was delivered today to the right number,but wrong street! The delivery dates have all been up the creek,sooo excited,digging the hole tomorrow!! Now my plants won't have to wait so long!
The whole truth is an instrument that can only be played by an expert.
Looks like it is coming along very nicely; just one tip from me ..... be certain it is as large as you will really want. There are lots of pond builders who wished they had dug a bigger hole (yes that was me in 1990!) Good luck Check https://catsandapenninegarden.blogspot.com/ for a few more tips
A cooler day today so we finally got our pond in situ. I'm really pleased with it,yesterday I got three different pond plants and a couple of snails to start so needed to get water in the pond. I wish I was able to post pics! I've put an old tree root sort of half across it,and half on land for any creepy crawlies,and flattish rocks on the edges. I have an excess of lovely Welsh stone,so built a rockery up to the pond on one side. Now I just have some planting between rocks to do. The cats have been intrigued,and done circuits of the edges,and had a drink!! I will be so pleased to see anything making use of it.(other than my cats)

OH is peering in there every five minutes,the trouble at the moment is the snails are black and so is the liner!😁 and one of my cats is using my lovely old gnarled root as a scratchy post,
