4 - 7 February 2020
With the Workforce hard at work around the house and Dave and I labouring at the pond, there are so many things happening. It is exhilarating and exhausting all at once!

Repairs are done to the lower step that I made too narrow. With a little supporting front and new 'plaka' laid on top, it is much better now. Laid in lime mortar, so the chair is there to stop use for a week or so.
Our one concession to speed: a little slab of concrete to build an outdoor kitchen on. We've been told that the workforce have more important jobs than ours to do after mid Feb, so the pressure is on ...
Pond-wrangling continues. With a little rainfall and some hosepiping, the water level is where we want it. Which means that the little island by the 'beach' is submerged. So I had to paddle in to lay one more stone to bring it clear of the water. Hoping that birds will use it for drinking.
Brick structure starts on the outdoor kitchen/barbeque.
We are scouring the land for 'sticks and stones' that will look awesome round the pond. Finding some good ones tucked away in hedges and corners.
