Square pond, with wall mounted water blade.
Brick built, with feature wall
Simple wooden sleeper pond.
After looking at the designs, and working out build costs, and my ability, I decided to go for a wooden framed pond, during my period on design, I called into my local world of water store and as I walked in, the had my perfect pond made up in the walkway as you walked in.
This particular pond came in a kit form, and it wasn't so much the kit, more the size and style that I was interested in.
It measured 2.5m x 1.5m x 0.7, which would hold 1357 litres. Which would allow me to keep my current pond and filter system which would handle upto 1500 litres per hour.
This size pond would fit perfectly on my patio, with out taking up to much space. Whilst giving me the extra size that I was after,
It was great being able to see the size pond, in the flesh, rather than just looking at it on the Internet.
Rather than buying the kit at £749, I wanted to build the same size and style on pond out of sleeper style timber.

ReplyDeleteFarming is the only profession where you can work 16-hour days, get sunburned in the middle of winter, and still be told you’re “living the simple life.” It’s a magical world where weather forecasts are more suspenseful than a thriller movie—will it rain, or will you just stand outside shaking your fist at the sky in frustration? Either way, Mother Nature is in charge, and she has a sense of humor.
Let’s talk about farm animals—those adorable, fluffy creatures that turn into rebellious hooligans the moment you turn your back. Chickens? Escape artists with no respect for fences. Cows? The real CEOs of the farm, casually blocking roads like they own them. And don’t even get me started on goats—those four-legged acrobats will climb on anything, including your patience.
Farming is also where advanced technology meets good old-fashioned stubbornness. Farmers can program GPS-guided tractors, monitor soil health with satellite imagery, and still fix a broken fence with nothing but baling wire and sheer determination. If farmers ever went to space, NASA would be amazed at how they could fix a rocket with duct tape and a hammer.

Then there’s the joy of growing crops, a process that requires backbreaking labor, endless weeding, and an optimistic spirit. You plant seeds with hope, nurture them with love, and then watch in horror as a single rabbit undoes three months of work in one afternoon. If farming teaches anything, it’s patience—and the importance of having a dog that actually chases pests instead of sleeping on the job.
At the end of the day, despite the unpredictable weather, mischievous animals, and never-ending work, farming is a life filled with humor, adventure, and a deep appreciation for the land. Sure, you might spend more time talking to your tractor than to actual people, but nothing beats the feeling of harvesting a field you nurtured from the ground up—except maybe a nap in the hay after all that hard work. 🌾🚜😆
