Big Friday

After a busy week I had Friday off. I went out early to get pictures of the local foxes and a pheasant I have been hearing every now and then. Couldn’t find either. Rest of the day we continued removing our old pond. We got the new 500L cistern in place, which is a big step forward. Plumbing next.
