Now it is time [due to familial reasons, story elsewhere] for shifting the contents of the pond into a new hole that will be dug up soon. So now I have kept the contents ready in barrels. I've left the fish there to be removed at the last possible moment when the new pond gets ready, since I still have some access to the old pond, in the other half of the premise where a partition wall has come up, dividing the property into two. I hope the water lilies and the fish survive the displacement. I'm going to add the same water into the new one as I believe there are some advantages. Do let me know, BTW.

Here are some pictures. I can't see this sight - but it is inevitable. Such a well settled pond.
