    I like that big pebble feature, I missed that when it was posted

  • Oh, you meant proposing! My mind went down a whole different track there...

     

    We just sort of decided in bed to be honest!

    Steve - you have my sympathy - about removing the pond not the proposing image

    It'll take you a while - will you have some help to save your back from too many aches and pains?  The liners are so much easier to deal with though. 

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    Breaking news - I'm annoyed with the fibreglass liner so I will be removing it, enlarging the pond and putting in a liner instead! image

    I absolutely agree with you, the liner is far better, you can easily get the shape you want rather than digging every little bit underneath the fiberglass one, if they don't fit exactly they buckle.

    I got mine from Bradshaws, long guarantee, and there is a 10% voucher off. 

    Edited to add, the pond liner is black one side and brown the other so you can choose which way up you prefer it.
