This is going to be another saga, I can feel it in my (pond) water! We have the hole. We can get what the Americans call 'underlayment' from various sources. All we need is a good, strong pond liner.
Locally, they can do swimming pool liners - in bright blue. Not good for a pond. Our builder has been making enquiries, but we would be flying blind, and committed to whatever he found probably without seeing it, so that's not ideal.
However, last September, I decided to join the Mediterranean Garden Society, and they sent out a email announcing a talk near Athens by a man with a water lily specialised nursery. How neat was that? I emailed and we started a conversation, and he wanted photos and drawings, and he has promised to find us a liner - but at time of writing (end Dec), we have a price and an item, but no delivery arrangements yet.
