Hello everyone!

With some considerable help from my IT manager (RG), I've finally put a
few pics on the web for all to see. Try the link below:

Wow, that's neat. Puts my rambling mess to shame. Not got a few hours to
spare each week I suppose :-)

That duck pond looks a bit small though...

Thank you, Mike :~). Relax, it's not quite so neat at the moment ... works
not in progress, you know the sort of thing, I'm sure.

Having seen some of your garden pics, I think the 'rambling' bit describes
your estate, rather than 'mess'! It's bound to be difficult keeping up
with a big garden, but what I've seen of it is very pleasing indeed. You're
lucky to have such a big garden. I'd love that. As to spare hours, you
must be joking! :~) Despite what you see in my carefully selected pics,
many areas need re-making now. It'll be fun - when I remember where I left
my energy - but somewhat challenging on my steep, clay patch.

The 'duck' pond will stay much as it is, except for removing occasional
heaps of Iris pseudoacorus. As you observed, the ducks seem perfectly happy
with the way it is:~). The reason I took that picture, btw, is because the
ducks settled on it on the 1st April. If I hadn't taken the photo, no-one
would have believed that my weeny pond could attract ducks! The mallards,
incidentally, flew in from a local park pond, of which we have many locally.
They still come every year, so I have to keep an eye on my two cats.
