    Knitted on my grown sons socks while watching the recap on the building of Kate’s pond and cabin. Enjoyed it immensely. Thank you for posting this, Ant. 💕

    OH!! Ant that was brilliant! So great to see what you achieved in such a short time - I am so thrilled with my pond and cabin - I spend hours down there doing different projects, or just having a cup of tea! What a treat to see the build over time like that - you made an amazing thing for me Ant and I really look forward to next year when we look at how we can plant things round the pond and make it look even more beautiful! I can’t thank you enough! Kate x

    THANK YOU for sharing the whole build. Kate found the perfect partner in crime with you.😂 She has such an amazing creative mind and you have the confidence and skill to turn her dreams into realities. The most amazing part (of many amazing parts) was the location was so wet. Everything had to be done in a way to keep from sinking into the ground. Thanks to Kate for getting you comfortable being on camera and encouraging you to start this RUclips channel❤

    This is a lovely video and accompanied with music is beautiful and soothing. It represents the relationship you have with each other based on respect for each other's work. I'm so happy that Kate never gave up on her dream of a cabin and pond and happy that Ant was the one chosen to execute it. Ant made it look so easy and seamless - the secret of a skilled carpenter. Thank you, Ant for sharing this with us and we look forward to seeing more videos after the holidays. Merry Christmas to you and Kate and your families.
