We haven’t yet finished the pond as need some old tights so we can create some sides to the pond. If you have any tights going spare please get in touch. Thanks
Tights?!
How will you use tight in a pond?
Im curious!
We fill the tights with sand to create a slope so that wildlife i.e. frogs etc can climb out easily.
I love to protect our green earth and I try to it every day.

Hello Maria and Sweeni, I know this is a very late notice and I apologise… I was meant to be coming tomorrow with my two children and we were very much looking forward to it, but I think my son has a mild heatstroke from being in the sun all day today, he’s just been sick again for a third time tonight. I think he needs to stay in tomorrow so he can get better. Sweeni, would you like our two places, provided it’s ok with Maria? Once again, very sorry about the late notice, I hope you both see this before 11am tomorrow so you can get there on time. Thank you, Klara
