Plinths Ponds and Things!

Found this little fellow in the bathroom! Very sweet, very small but a bit caught up in hair and fluff! l spent a few minutes carefully de-tangling him from it all (and made a mental note to vacuum the bathroom floor more often if these little critters are going to keep coming in!)

l put him outside near the fish bowl. Nice if he hopped in but l think he might have been a tempting bit of fodder for the 6 gold fish that prowl just below the surface!

l was happy to see the Water Irises and the Arum Lillies l put in there only about two weeks ago have started to send new shoots out of the water. A stall holder from the Margate Train gave them to me as he has them in his beautiful fish pond on display in the shop. His pond was the inspiration for me to get our one! l was very thrilled when he plunged his hands into the water and pulled out a heap of offshoots for me to put in mine! Thank you Lyndon!

l picked up this 'plinth' (?) from work very cheaply the other day as it had a chip on the side (which adds to its appeal!) l am quite pleased with it and it will be placed in the garden to hopefully become surrounded by flowers.......l have a lot of plants to plant!!! In the interim l will have very bare flowerbeds full of interesting junk!!!

Also my freebie solid cast iron (rusty) birdbath that l hoisted out of the rubbish bin! Amazing what some people will throw away!
Oh dear......l can visualise the place in 10 years time.... not a single plant to be seen....just flowerbeds crammed full of coloured push bikes.... rusty pedestals...... bits of metal....... old bed heads...........and plinths...........lots of plinths..............

Oh  and the last day of Summer today..........................Must explain the very chilly, frosty 4 degrees we had this morning............... See you tomorrow Autumn...
