Water hole

One of the best things about our garden is probably, from both my point of view and the animals', the fountain. My poor dad recently had to drag it all up and clean/fix it, because my mum was worried the hedgehogs would fall into the pit underneath and not be able to get out. I'm told they can swim, but my dad is resisting my suggestions that he build a hog swimming pool...

Anyway, this is the fountain.


At night, the hogs have been known to climb up there for a drink and a bit of a wash. In the day, however, it's the rightful territory of a pair of blackbirds dubbed Mr. and Mrs. Mad.

And yes, they are pretty crazy.

We've worked on our garden for a looong time, ever since I was about six. It used to be little more than a mess of mud and concrete. xD
