It's been absolutely gorgeous this afternoon so Tony and I spent it in the garden getting the garden winter ready. More about that on my gardening blog if gardening's your thing. We've switched the pond pump off and watched the goldfish nibbling around the pump unit. We think they are probably eating any worms and grubs that may crawl out when the pump isn't running. I'll lift the pump out and give it a good clean before the really bad weather kicks in.... and we know it won't be long. This year we plan to put a polythene cloche over the pond to protect it from freezing over completely. We lose a few fish each year to the cold and hopefully we can give them a fighting chance. It won't look very pretty but will match my polythene cloches in the veg garden so won't look too out of place
