Finally got around to getting all the parts I need.
Realized that the pump worked inside whilst it was upright, but had to put it on its side to attache the hose to the water feature. Apparently, the pump didn't like that. :)
The video is taking ages to upload, so please be patient.
Will take a little while to clean the pond, as it has been awhile and while I am trying hard to get rid of the duck weed, it is an on-going task as just one piece can multiply lots. Also going to try and vacuum some of the dirt and rubbish off the bottom. Need two people to do it though, as you need someone to keep adjusting the pressure in the hose. The fish seem healthy enough and one has grown quite a lot. If I clean the pond up, perhaps I might be able to photograph it :)
As far as a visit is concerned, I am going to check with my travel agent, but speaking to acquaintances who travel a lot (they live in England) they said it might be cheaper to fly to London and then book to Finland from there. I would like to visit Cornwall too if I am going to travel all that way. May as well see everything :D.
The only problem then is again the cost.

Oh, how nice you got the pump working! Thanks for the video - the voice of the water running is like music. As far as I can see there's nothing wrong with the pond, but of course it should be cleaned once in a while. Looking forward to the photo of the fish. :)
And of course you should see as much as possible on the trip your going to make. The flight from Finland to England took about an hour and a half, if I remember it correctly (on the way to Morocco we stopped on Heathrow), so it's actually quite close. The drive from Helsinki to Turku takes about two to three hours though - depending on the time.
I suspect you wouldn't need too much more money for the flights any more, but the other transportation, hotels and souveniers would demand a bit more. ;D And we could make some arrangements for our son to sleep in the yardhouse, while you're here, so you could have your own room for your stay, if you'd want. You'll be a really welcomed guest. So you would save the hotel expences while you are here. We have an extra bed downstairs under the stairs in the livingroom, but it's quite restless place. It would be SO great to have you here.
I surely would arrange time off from my business, too, to visit some of the places nearby with you. Oh, that would REALLY be wonderful. Looking forward to that, too! =D
Thank you for your offer, you make me feel very special.
If I go to England, that will be expensive I think, but will talk to all my friends who have travelled and see what they recommend.
Don't get too excited yet. :D
Thinking of it, and hoping for it, then it might actually come true! =D We never know what beautiful things layes ahead.
