We slabbed it with a view to getting the water level right up to catch the reflection of the sky (visible from where we sit out on the terrace )

 

A delicious melange Armandii,

The slabs are a definite improvement Kristen.

 

Thanks The old concrete ponds that were here when we moved in were terrible, cracked, came right up to the house, but its taken us 7 years to complete the "refactoring" project.

What a difference it's made filling in the first pond. I also like the way you've replanted and improved the second, it has turned it into a lovely woodland like setting.

 

Mine have been crapola this year too WOO!

 

I've had a few things struggle this year whilst others have loved it!
