Our lovely new pond

 The pond is almost finished.  All it needs is the pebble edging which will arrive tomorrow.  Originally we had thought about using gravel and large cobbles but worried that they'd simply slide into the pond. I recalled that a friend had bought a pebble covered edging strip for her pond and to be honest it wasn't much more expensive than gravel and cobbles. I paid a bit over the top so that it would arrive tomorrow. It'll be perfect for frogs and newts when it gets established.  We're going to buy some small pond plants tomorrow and it won't look so bare.
