"Outside,
we were particularly envious of Sally's swimming pool, a large, romantic pond
that had been specially planted in order not to necessitate the use of
chemicals to keep the water clear. Like the house, although only recently
finished, it was hard to believe that it had not been there a lifetime."

"Swimming
in the pond is nothing like a swimming pool, which can be boring and rather
ugly. From the house you walk out over a ramp to the pool, which was designed
by a specialist company to look like a beautiful, planted pond and s full of
wildlife.
Despite
the cool weather, I and a few friends are still using the pool a lot- It's
gorgeous and still crystal clear.
A
kingfisher has adopted the pond- It's wonderful to watch it perching and diving
for its supper. You have two very happy clients."

"I
have always wanted a swimming pool. I first read about natural pools in the
permaculture magazine and thought 'great' because I really don't like
chlorinated pools. I was brought up swimming in wild water like this. We are
very pleased. I'm amazed how clean it has kept, and it's a beautiful thing to
look at."
