Pond patch

The patch I put on the pond some months ago has failed.  We tried to convince ourselves that the vigorous growth of the new pond plants had something to do with the slowly declining water level - but - with all the rain we've had, we were kidding ourselves.

The hole has been identified and a new patch ordered.  In the meantime our poor 18 year old cat chooses to practically climb into the pond to get a drink. (Tap water is seemingly not as desirable).
