The Three Ponds I've Built in Our Garden

@Doghouse Riley . That’s the one.

I remember there were steps from the house down to the gardens. That meant that some of my less able passenger werent able to participate.

We've been there a few times, probably where I got my inspiration for my garden. Though the Tea-House is more from ideas I got from really old photographs of Victorian garden architecture I found in very old books in Manchester Central Library.

Digressing, I also found a first edition of Artie Shaw's biography, "The Trouble With Cinderella." I said to the guy on the desk after returning with it after reading it, that it was too rare to be on "open lend." But he wasn't bothered.

As for "coming together," we went to see the Eden Project when it was "the biggest licenced building site in Europe." They'd built the visitors centre with the shop and the restaurant, but the biosphere's were nowhere near completed. There were guys abseiling up and down the frames, installing the glass. We were given a yellow hard hat and safety jacket and joined other visitors on the little road trains that took us down to see what they'd achieved so far.
