On the weather front we have had a rainy start to the new year, which on the one hand we are pleased to see the fishery filling with up water, but on the other hand, feel downhearted as we don't like rain and more rain !!!!!!!!!!!! Although after watching the news reports from the U.K. our sympathies do go out to all those who have been heavily affected and have suffered greatly with the floods and so all in all we shouldn't be complaining about the rain here.
The fishery is filling up quite nicely but we are not expecting it to retain the water, we knew it was a bit of a "long shot" but no-one could tell us for sure whether the water would hold or not, so it was a case of letting nature take its course and then making a decision on how to deal with it at a later stage. The terrain has a mixture of soil, clay and stone but unfortunately we don't have the necessary equipment for tamping the earth down to form a hard surface. Other solutions to it are either to line it with plastic or concreting the base and sides. The obvious permanent solution is to concrete, so that is most likely the way we will decide to go.
