The Bridge - Page 2
Winter is here.
Oh Dear! this heavy snowfall was to prove problematic. Someone slipped and fell into the pond damaging it. Well yes it was me, but at least I wasn't hurt, just very cold and very wet. Embarassed but at least no one saw me (I don't think). The extent of the damage.
It is really much worse than it looks, the net frame being very flimsy was also broken and so I had to put temporary supports for the nets across the pond unless I had time to sort the bridge out. The New Bridge. Unfortunately for various reasons the repair had to wait and the temporary net supports had to stay in place for a quite a long time. However with the help of Chris, yet again the new bridge and framework for the nets were finally made, this time using fencing posts and deck boards cut to size.
In this picture you may notice to the right hand side of the garden the edging by the track, I had decided to replace the bricks with decking boards. I had also decuided to do the same with the mounds around the locks inb the canal. You may also notice differences in the garden, as with the rebuilding of the bridge the garden was also left for quite a while, but I managed to get it to look like like someone owned it again.
Having decided against the boards around the locks and at the side of the track the bricks have been replaced,
