Lut, your pond is stunning! Did Bernard build it...and if so, would he fancy coming to Mass. to make me one? A tiny one please?
No, Bernard did not built it himself. That would have takan him ages to dig that hole !! ; We had this new house built in 2000, and at the same time, the hole for the pond was dug by a huge crane. The whole are got covered with a black "pond-plastic" (don't know the correct name) . Guess who came to fill the pond with water?? The fire-brigade!! That was fun! Everybody in our street thought there was a fire "in the new house", but when they went to have a look, they saw one fire-worker, having fun with his waterhose . We had to wait 4 months then before we were allowed to put any fish in the pond. Our largest fishes are 3 sturgeons: one is nearly 1 meter, and the others 80 cm!. Several of the kois are huge to now, more than 50 cm!
