I have sore fingertips from handling each rock a dozen times, but the filter is now more or less hidden so I'm well pleased with the results of my labours over the past month or so. Thanks to everyone for giving me such good advice!

Tricia- you have done such a good job hiding that filter. The finished result looks brilliant.

Well done.
The pond is nicely planned and fits in beautifully with it's surroundings.
Not an easy thing to get right. Give yourself a pat on the back.

Tricia... you've done a brilliant job. The beach / cobble area and rocks are pretty. You did well to disguise the filter. Looks like summer in your pond already - one of the many benefits of living in beautiful Devon!!!

What is the plant directly behind the thin pole?

Thanks for the compliments. The plant behind the birdfeeder pole, Kazzie, is a Hydrangea macrophylla, probably 'Amethyst'. It's also known as the mophead hydrangea, has very large deep green leaves and really huge, dinner plate size blooms. I can post pictures come July/August.

It's super Trish. It looks very invting, and the rocks are smashing. I can recall sore fingertips from arranging rockery ... it's such an art to place them 'just so'. It all looks smashing. Hopefully uypou can sit back now and do the most important thing.. enjoy it.

Tricia... I would love to see pics of your plant in bloom this summer. Acid soil needed I guess (sigh)!

Just had another look at your pictures and wondering where we can fit in another pond - can't have you resting for too long now!!!
