Draining the wetlands

Finished digging the trench/pond around the bird table at the end of the garden that is meant to help drain the part that I now call the ‘wetlands.’  Whether it will work I don’t know, but it adds a bit of interest, and I shall dress it up a bit in the months to come. Very heavy work, and knocked me up a bit, as I am so unfit these days. Yesterday was a beautiful, spring-like sunny day, after all the snow we had at the beginning of the month, which means the daffodils still aren’t quite out. Just like an old-fashioned winter! The heather below the patio is a fine sight, though
