Hi Margaret,
Welcome to our forum. I am sure that everyone will be very happy to help you with your first winter ponding. It is such a great way to relax even though there are always some anxious moments when spring arrives.
You can post anything you like on here on the headings that are available and there is also a heading that is called 'the garden shed' where you can post about anything you like. It doesn't have to be about ponds or gardens or anything connected. You could just write about a good day out or a wedding or just have a moan and try to set the world to rights.
We are a very friendly bunch and are very informal so just get posting...
