Cool Last sunshine shower...

... in the controversial waterfall

(Apologies for the quality, phone pics )

After scrambling to the top pool, Valentino contemplates the next action....



Yep, this seems warm enough... apparently!



Wash the face...



Then the bum



Time to exit... head first



Negotiate the lumps and bumps...



.....Aaaand we're done....

Well he certainly knew how to negotiate that, and looked liked he enjoyed the shower, the water feature looks very impressive by the way x

Wow, I want a waterfall, that's great! Hummm, I'll have to get designing over the winter. Do you have a reservoir pool underneath?

Yep, which was a pain as our garden has only about 6in of earth above rubble (as is the case with a lot of housing estates these days )
You can see (most of) the build here: http://www.shelledwarriors.co.uk/for...ad.php?t=69034

Great photo diary, lovely enclosure.

Oh dear, hubby isn't going to be happy, I've got my sights set on a waterfall now. although mine will have to be slightly smaller. That's it, I'm off to google waterfalls.

Brilliant pictures Racing Snake, really enjoyed them. He looks quite a character - as if its a normal thing that torts do everyday!

Wonderful photos. Looks like Valentino was determined to get up there.
