Barbel in a still water, that's not right is it?!

It's got flowing water at one end, not raging torrents like a river, but they seem to have survived.
The barbel weren't bought, more rescued.

ETA. IIRC there's 10 or so around the 45lb mark when we last electro netted it.

10 carp @ 45lb??!! eek Nice! Sounds like my ideal back garden pond! TBH there's a stillwater match lake up here that has barbel over 12lb in it, they seem to do ok. If you ever need a fish catching drop me a PM winkhehe

Knob off, i know a V8 when i see one, i'm going to have to hunt down the current owner to take a bloody photo of the engine now!
Well it is just possible to drop a V8 into a Wrangler, but it sure as hell won't be a 4.0 V8! Your PH credibility is dwindling at high speed. hehe

I went with the 4.0L badge on the side and the V shaped engine in the front, i didn't realise it wasn't standard. But then i didn't own it, only borrowed it off the parents.

Worked with a great garden designer up in Glasgow called Anne Macfie when I built our new home: (www.annemacfiegardendesign.co.uk). Decided on a more 'contemporary' garden design - probably not to everyone's taste, but we love it.
We went for raised walkways, a patio and composite black decking so that we can use the garden more of the year without having to wade through puddles (we're in sunny Scotland after all) hehe
These photos were taken last year just after planting - the plants have gone mad since and filled in most of the 'gaps'
