Mr H leave us alone!

We [that’s the Royal we... Chris] has tried a number of things to keep Mr H, the heron away from our pond. First he tried a grid a plastic hexagons that floated just under the water surface, next came serious netting, that looked awful! Plan C was a network of fine twine about a foot from the pond, and we are now keeping our fingers crossed.

The twine is hard to see and the black posts blend in. My Acers are putting on a wonderful show.

The gadget on the left side of the pond is an automatic feeder and the fish have learn the times it works and line up for food.

The other side of the bridge.

My new pansies and fruit trees are doing well, and the red Rhododendron is just coming into flower.

This side of the garden joins our neighbour and is almost hidden between Chris’s shed and the little summer house.
