Saint Sylvain
This morning started building a small pump house next to the Koi pond. The new filter and UV lamp are sat on stones in the pond and it doesn't look very elegant, so I'm building a small waterproof box next to the pond to hold each of the units and it also provides extra protection for the electrics. Cutting a hole in the pond wall was a fairly time consuming job because I couldn't find anywhere that sold a diamond core cutter for concrete. I ended up using a long SDS drill bit and a hammer and chisel. Fish aren't keen on vibrations so it was a slow job.
Caroline and I put most of the windows boxes with geraniums on the house and gites. When they come into flower it really brightens the place up. The other boxes are lined up against a south facing wall ready to replace the pansies when they are over. Moving and planting up 30 window boxes takes a fair while.
