20th April 2021 - Meerkat Mountain, Duck Ponds and Hammocks

Thought or the day :"Being educated at Yale opened many doors for me."

Day at the Ranch today.

Meerkat Mountain

And another Flying Piggies comes to join the Veranda..

Meanwhile in the Paddock I set up Susie's Hammock....

Hard at Work !!

While I carry on with the new Duck Pond. This has become a matter of urgency as Novochok has found a way into the Springs - we have no idea how - but she was happily rootling around in the top spring yesterday and Tesco and she were both there today... So Project Duck pond is there to try to keep them in the paddock..   

Taking a rest from the digging - I helped Susie double the stock proof fencing leading fomr the Paddock to the Springs..

And pond liner base and pond liner in place..  

And fed via three hoses to the water overflow pipe at the Tavern... which runs off into this stream...

and water running...

Novachok decides to investigate 

And Tesco gets a look in as well

All in all a successful day 

Pond 33/4 filled before we called it a day
Trimming and laying a stone base around the top and digging in the liner still to be done - but I am off to Llanelli Tomorrow so maybe Thursday before finished.

But it is progress..

Meanwhile Susie did some more of her Potato Bed, and potted some more plants in the Greenhouse and cleared a bit more of Tolly's Pond.. 

Cheers !
