PONDS

Over the Autumn 2007 and Spring/Summer 2008 Neil & I have transformed what was an impenetrable wilderness into a peaceful haven.  The ponds have been dredged and are constantly refreshed with fresh river water.  Ducks, moorhen, carp and other wildlife have made it their own.  An area of woodland has been left untouched beyond the ponds:
