A letter from Monty's human 
Hi Bruce, Everything is going great with the pond. We get
compliments all the time. The fish are much livelier and we have
another 3 tiny ones. The storm blew a lot of stuff in but we
just skimmed it all out. I've checked the leaf holder twice but
there hasn't been anything in it.
The web site looks great and I sent it off to Scotland, England,
Australia and all parts of the USA. Thanks again for a great
job.
