Now the weather's a bit warmer the frogs are coming out of the pond to sun themselves on rocks - so far we have counted six big ones and one tiny one.

There's still a lot of tadpoles, so soon there will be frogs everywhere!

Tia the cat likes to sit by the pond frog-watching (so do we!). She hasn't shown any signs of wanting to play with them yet, luckily, although that may change once there are tiny frogs jumping around the garden.

Another trip to B&Q, some sawing, bashing drilling and nailing later, and we have a pergola. Now we can dust off the giant garden candelabra we found in a bush, hang it up and have a tealight-festooned "sitting room" outside.



Mini has plans to buy some clear plastic sheets and put a roof on it so we can sit and enjoy the garden even when it's raining.
