Filling in a garden pond
"David Rance" wrote in message ... Hmmm.. I think I would rather fill it in - in fact I did this in one house/garden I occupied - because I know of a family where their youngest, a toddler, fell in to their pond and nearly drowned. He didn't drown but suffered brain damage and is now severely physically handicapped. I've known several children who've died or been injured as the result of other accidents. |

My oldest grand-daughter is 24 this week, and is still a constant joy; Oh yes, they are when they come but we're always so busy that we never seem to get round to visiting them ... I must say that it's always amazing what nice young grown-ups they turn into after those horrid teen years! my youngest grandson is seven months old now, Ours is seven weeks. I think. He doesn't do much except sleep, it seems.But you can't get near babies these days, with all the gadgetry surrounding them. I can't be bothered ... I like an easy life :-) Mary |

I lost a niece in a farm sheep stank - should that have been filled in ? Hi Mary - it's nice to see you pester the gardeners as well as the DIY'ers, and I certainly go with all you and others have said about retaining ponds I haven't got any GC's yet so don't have to worry at the moment - time will come (I hope) and the problem will have to addressed then. PK's statistics about 1 to 2 year olds is useful. Rob |
