Thankfully the storm has passed so we could run, literally, to the community garden at Canbury Gardens to attend the call of lovely Marilyn and Peter! JP, Rachel, Esse and I had a 'good gym' workout turning over compost heaps, moving the soil around and last but not least... rebuilding the pond! We put the pond plastic liner and rocks into place and filled it with recycled rainwater, all the work being supervised and approved by Engineer Peter! Everybody seemed happy with the results, including the friendly hens Lili, Chocolate and Daisy :)
