It
started raining in the night and rained solidly until just before
lunch. I was so fed up sitting damply inside that I went out to see
how the ponds were getting on and found that there was considerable
flooding. I was worried that the banks of the front pond might give
way.
Kireet,
who made the ponds, came to see me and assured me that this was
unlikely to happen. He has cunningly designed the landscaping so
that extra water has a way of running off so it doesn't all go into
the pond and put pressure on the banks. We also talked about how to
make spill ways so that more water is kept in the pond that feeds
this front pond. Making the spill ways sounds quite simple and we
can do it when we have a lot of volunteers during the guest season.
It
feels a very grey and soggy day.
