It’s that time of year when you look back on the last 12 months and think forward to the year ahead.

Here’s a quick glimpse of my 2011.

I’ll gloss over the foot of snow we had in January brr, 42 Tosai kept me on my toes in the first few months of the year..



March saw completion of the DIY Drum filter on the Tosai tank..



Spring finally arrived in Essex, this Lady was awakened from hibernation in the compost heap.




April saw the main pond Drum filter arrive



May and things and the garden was starting to come to life







June saw the fish spawn the arrival of a few cubs and the Crouch Valley Show





July was hectic, Highlights being a visit from Mikey for a very wet CV meeting and hosting the club BBQ.




August and September were relaxing months.













October and pond shed erected,



December

A must visit for anyone thinking of building their own pond.

Thanks for the kind comments Guys, looking back at summer pics helps with the motivation at this time of year.

The ponds still evolving and got a fair way to go before it‘s anything like right - but we are gradually getting there.

Fox’s keep some of the less desirable predators away so are always welcome and enjoy the odd scrap or two.
