Exactly, I think the water level is getting ever closer to the ground surface, a week of dry weather is easily undone by a half hour of rain, it was never this damp and soggy.
It would be great for us as a group and would attract customers/visitors but we are a much smaller pond with far fewer fish to bite, some tourists might be attracted but given the choice between here and the UK I think we would need to have something special to attract more, a great idea though.
