    Hi to all!
    I am looking for a water feature, but without the pond. Any advice as to possibilities of where to purchase such an item would be most welcome i.e. experience of purchasing on the net or what have you.
    Many thanks!
    Roy

    Try an aquatic centre at your local Garden Centre. Also Maidenhead Aquatics seem to have expanded in the S.E. Don't know if they get up to your neck of the woods though. Not special but competent.

    My mate Simon at LWS in Dinton, Wilts is
    1 Not very close to you
    2 Exceedingly good, as is his company. I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending them. They are magic people.

    I have another mate called Bernice who started a company called 'Fishtastic'. They are even further away but do on line stuff. I have had no dealings with them but would personally feel comfortable trading with them.

    Gender free zone or otherwise Jazid, thanks for the info. I'll give this some thought but not too much as I may become a right bore, if not already.
    Cheers

    B.M. if I do decide to go for a similar water feature to your perfection, does it come with the yellow and orange "pintle" pictured therein?
    Many thanks!

    Roders, have you been taking sneaky photos of my garden? :D :D
    I'd like a little water feature something like BMs but as I'm totally inept at electrics and I want it right at the bottom of the garden away from the house, was thinking of a solar powered one. Are these good or no?

    Well B.M. he's done a magnificent job until now (the B.M. pintel figurine, I mean) so I would keep him/her on my side if I were you!

    Now, should this message be in the GC "Banter" section? I made sure that I did not discriminate re male/female so no problems there I don't think...

    B.M. where oh where be your collection of pics of your's and your "Arty Farty" B.M. pintel figurine's garden? You had a load of pics on there but I cannot for the life of me find where they are.

    Mille gracie!

    Not sure, my dear Sir; what I remember is (I do occasionally remember the occasional thing...)you posted lots and lots of pics (inclusive of your lovely African wild dog) showing your garden. I believe you mentioned you had been unwell within the same message. Hope you are feeling much the better!
    Just a few days before today.
    Many thanks to you!
    Roy
