At long last, the bath has moved to its new home by the big Oak tree. Being transported in the front loader of our tractor was a bit unorthodox but the bath is far too heavy to have moved it any other way.

As it is so sturdy we are going to use it as a small pond away from the house. We don't expect to have masses of animals in it, but we are bound to get frogs, newts and toads in and around it, as well as a full complement of insects.
As there are no natural water courses or ponds close to the house we hope that it will also provide somewhere for the birds to drink and wash.

Hopefully though, it will be able to fill itself from the rain (what's that?) as we don't want to be carting even more water around to keep it topped up.
