The bad news of the week is that the pond is ...

leaking!

I guess the liner has fulfilled what it promises, which I think was a life of 20 years.  It is not going to be an easy job to dismantle it and put in a new liner.  I guess that this is the point where some people would opt for a bog garden instead, but I’d miss the water.  Even though it’s relatively small and the bats would miss it too as we often see them hunting insects at dusk.
