Not a simple story I suppose. You start off with ideas floating around in your head (I have a lot of empty space up there to float things around, LOL). Next thing you know, you're on an epic journey before you'd even realised it. So the "test run" started when I finally cleaned out and enlarged an existing hole in the ground. Did a very basic bit of landscaping. Wet season rains filled the hole making an instant pond. Water naturally flows in and out, it's a natural system fed by a swamp. Later in the year it'll dry out so I can then continue with the major works.

Already some people have commented on how good my pond looks. When I tell them it's a "test run" they just look at me strangely. Most of my friends have learned the only way to ever look at me is strangely, LOL.

First photo is how it's generally looking now. Second photo was just at the end of some heavy rain.
