long hard winter

It's been tough in the pond this winter.

the fish experienced their very first ever freeze over...really..you could stand on it!

The netting i place over to safeguard the fish from the bastard ginger cat was all frozen into the water. you could just about see the two blue orfes hanging there./

Saw no sight of the big koi for weeks. I had genuinely thought the cat had got him and then a week ago,...he swam by.

Phew.

Don't know how many will make it this winter.
