Sausage Sizzle

Thanks to all the people who came to the pond on Sausage Sizzle day. I hope you got a good idea of what the pond is all about an how much enjoyment the kids at school get from it.

Thanks also to the kids who helped plant the bulbs. It made the job so much easy to do!

Pond Update

1st September

We've spent a morning clearing plants from the meadow and tidying around the bark chip paths.
Plants have grown and the pond looks like it's been there for years.

Fruits of our labour

We have a bumper crop of Apples and Plums up at the pond this year. A sure sign of a good, warm summer.

The Dedicated Pond Team

It may be raining, it's certainly windy but the hardy bunch of Pond developers are hard at work.

Snow

January is almost over but snow still lays thick on the ground. There's a sense of peace and tranquillity up there today.

It's winter

26 January 2013

It's winter. The pond has frozen over an all looks calm and serene.

The Bug Hotel in Winter

It's winter, the snow has been here for a while. Hopefully the bugs will return on mass in the spring.
