The one with the pebble pond

Today has been a glorious day.  We do tend to get good weather in Essex: well, there has to be a perk to living in the South!



I find it difficult to just sit and do nothing, so I got on with a project that has been lingering for the last couple of years (yes...years!)
Here is the before:

a very sad looking pebble pond
And here is the after

Whoop! I love it.  I just need to get some plants in now, although I may wait a few weeks yet as I did read that it was going to get chilly again soon - I hope they are wrong

There wasn't much sewing: I have put something together for the Sew Mama Sew giveaway tomorrow, so hope you will come back then and have a look

  2. Glad you had some sunny weather this bank holiday and it's so satisfying when you get one of 'those' jobs done :)

  5. Laughing at Hadley's comment above as I went to a garden centre this am and the tinkling of the water features made me glad I'd been to the loo already! Can't wait to see your finished water feature.

  10. The little bubble pond will be lovely when all those plants are round it!
    I used to live in Essex, and yes, there was generally more sun there than up North! Lucky you!
