lovely isnt she?

umm think i will keep it for now :wink:

we had a heron 2 days after i put my fish in and lost one! so it got covered over! if anyone tells you they wont touch a rased pond they are liers!

from bottom to coping on the top its about 9ft deep!  no lights in it as a mate had some and the fish got spooked and one jumped out got hurt and died.

Luvvly jubbly Nathan, a pond always seems to make a garden a bit more special.

9ft deep ! you could have a swim in that  :lol:
