New garden - new pond

A couple of pics taken in October. The garden isn't large. as you can see - the usual UK bungalow estate plot. The first pic shows the pond liner filling, with the old smaller existing pond next to the hedge. This area has since been reclaimed for alpines. The second pic shows the new pond coming together more...but still very new. There's a stream at the lefthand end, and the suggestion of a cobbly beach at 'tother. My inspiration comes from the Exmoor coastal scenery around here.
For neatness, I've kept the level of water and the surroundings almost flush. The adjacent lawn never floods after a storm as the beach end acts as a water runoff - it goes under the slabs and drains back into the garden. Just needs tidying up now, and getting some planting established.

Just come in from another half hour of titivating the 'stream' end (it's so cold out there!)
Yes, it's all my own work. The hardest bit of course was digging out the hole, especially when I started to come to the usual layer of builder's rubble! But I think well worth the effort. I got far too much lining, but better that than ending up with not enough to do the job properly.
In the last few days I've gathered up some interesting bits of driftwood from Instow beach which is a few minutes drive away. These I'm using as part of the stream scene. This is now the sort of bubbling water outlet you get at the top of a cobbly Devonshire cove (or anywhere else I suspect). I lifted the pipe from the pump higher to get a more lively outpour, and the water now tumbles over rocks into the stream with quite a satisfying splash. I went for a higher capacity pump as anything too small would for me be a non event.
I did get some lighting a couple of weeks ago knocked down to £9.99 from £49.99 (some reduction!). These I'm still playing around with, and are three low voltage underwater spots with interchangeable colour lenses (made by 'Bermuda'). I tried them in the pond but their circle of effectiveness is a bit minimal. OK, but puny. So I've repositioned them to spotlight the new waterfall more - have to wait until this evening to see the result.
When the waterfall's finished with all it's driftwood, seaside cobbles and gravel I'll post another shot. I might even add a simple plank bridge so I can have easier access to planting the opposite bank.
Which reminds me of a front garden I used to pass where I used to live in Surrey. There was a pond the size of a puddle, with the biggest oriental style curved bridge over it you could ever imagine. Totally eliminated the pond underneath!
OK, warmed up a bit now, so I'm going back out there again. At least the sun's shining.
