The Clerk of Works, Senior Management and Committee wait anxiously at the 'Filling Up' ceremony.
Paul puts the finishing touches to the small weir which will divert some of the water from the stream to the top of the new waterfall.
Water begins to flow.
And the pond begins to fill.
First reflections.
A celebratory toast.
The pond is dedicated to Roy Bliss who, in his life and work as a Landscape Gardener made many beautiful ponds. We hope he likes this one...and now we're all filling up...
Great gardeners never die, they just spade away!

Hope our pitch is still dry overlooking the pigs. Good job we have a porta potti with all that running water. Great job it will really make that area look great.
