for anyone wondering if they could have a wildlife pond in their garden.With just a small sloping hole,some liner,pebbles and gravel you can have a little haven for the wildlife and birds.
Oh Sheila that little pond is just delightful and you've not done my patience a bit of good, naughty girl lol. What a peaceful looking little haven to sit on that there bench and just be grateful to be alive. I really must get one if I start digging OH won't have much of a choice now will he?????? Jayne
thanks Jayne the bench will be the boundary of our garden when the other bit of land goes.Needless to say behind the bench... oh my dear what a mess.Dont be too hard on OH
hi sheila would love to have a pond like yours but as we have 3 small grandchildren i guess we will have to wait quite awhile, hope you post more photos of your pond when things start to liven up. denis
thanks Denis.Most of my grandkids are 15+ but the 4yr old does have to be watched.Luckily he is as bright as a button and does as he is told.Will keep updates and hopefully will get some frogspawn although none as yet Sheila
For all who have lost.
GODS LENT CHILD by Sue Coad
I'll lend you for a little while a child of mine God said,for you to love thee while he lives and mourn for when he's dead.It may be six or seven years of forty-two or three,but will you,till I call him back,take care of him for me?
He'll bring his charms to gladden you,and should his stay be brief,you'll always have his memories as solace in your grief.
I cannot promise he will stay,since all from earth return,but there are lessons taught below I want this child to learn.
I've looked the whole world over in my search for teachers true,and of all the folk that crowd life's lane I have chosen you.
Now will you give him all your love and not think the labour vain nor hate me when I come to take this lent child back again.
I fancy that I heard them say "Dear God Thy Will Be Done"For all the joys this child will bring,the risk of grief we'll run.
We will shelter him with tenderness,we'll love him while we may and for all the happiness we've known,we'll ever-grateful stay.
But should the Angels call him much sooner than we'd planned,we will brave the bitter grief that comes and try to understand.
