26th April 2021 - Fixing and Duck Ponds

Thought for the day :"I stopped for a bite to eat last night at a posh burger van. It had 4 Michelin tyres..."

Another Sunny day here in Rhydlewis...  though it looks as though it may be changing tomorrow, sadly.

A bit more work on the duck pond, and decided to repair the Chair looking towards Tolly's Troll Bridge

Failed to start the Timberpro strimmer / 7 in one machine. Tried for a while and got it to start twice but could not keep it going - and then the pull starter stopped pulling on the motor..  So a trip to Cardigan to Grow it Mow It who fixed the other machines - or failed to ...  Did not seem hopeful to be able to get parts - which is a pity as it is almost brand new in terms of use.....

So popped into B & M at the same time and bought some edging for Susie's next flower beds...

Susie meanwhile fixed the chicken coup with some planking to stop foxes entering and putting tiles onto the ground to stop the rats getting in ... 

We seemed to be busy all day but not sure what else we completed...  

A couple staying with Rhys and Roisin popped in to have a look at the peacocks - so we gave them the guided tour... It is times like that when you realise how much we have actually done !

Anyway - a few photos 

Bench in need of repair

New planking for the seating

and a Coat of Paint and done..

Duck pond at start of day 

A quick break and a trip to the Bluebell fields 
in the lower quarter

Dragon taken out to find some higher stones
to put back in so we can see her

End of day's work at the pond - finish next time

In other news - this was designed to keep the ducks from the springs in the lower quarter. It has worked and Tesco and Novochok have not gone into the Spring at all since... But there were a pair if mating mallards in the spring !! Best laid plans ...

and breathe!!

Cheers !
