I came I saw I pond_erd

[Cobra]

The rear section garden is well over due for a make over I have been wondering what
I was going to do with it, after levelling the "old"
I though it might be an idea to make it into a wildlife garden
with bog water and native plants.
I hadn't reckoned on interference from the "authorities" though

So there was I diggin' this 'ole ...........

Bugger 18 inches down and barely half way and I hit blue clay

....when along comes this geezer.............I mean clerk of works
to give it the once over

Ok so she "passed" stage one
But came back to inspect stage two

And went off for a meeting with the site agent
I will have to wait for a day or two to see whether or not she was happy
Good excuse for a beer though

Part Deux

"unfortunately" the pointer (brown one) is a bitch
You can tell by her attitude

And the lurcher has had a trip down the vets
so should it turn out to be the dogs boll...then Charlie ( the lurcher)
may well be on the scrounge

Cracking story board!

We're thinking about starting a conservatory soon - any chance I can borrow them for my planning permission??

Thanks
Good luck with the conservatory
But I doubt that you would want the kind of "help" that these
two have to offer

[Cobra]

[ladysue]

Great story. Its a pity they didnt both help with the digging.

 

[Yv]

love it Chris. I have been considering a pond of a similar nature for my own little plot, any chance you could send them round to check on my digging equipment please? I have a Jack Mk1 and Russell Mk2, they are not bad at this digging lark but do tend to slack when they hit the rubble layer

The GSP is great at digging actually. You should have seen the help I got after I re-seeded part of the lawn :bang:
