Shrinking the pond

We are both aching a bit after a day making the pond a little smaller. We have taken away some of the big rocks and made a gentle slope with large pebbles into the water. It now means there is an easy way for wildlife to get a drink or get out if they fall in. We've also removed some of the plants that had filled the pond. A very smelly job!

The next thing is to lift some of the slabs and get some smaller stones delivered so it all runs into the rest of the garden.
