It’s only new this summer.
2.5 deep at the centre and about 6 x4 feet.
May consider adding a filter and a few goldfish, but that will be in spring - if I’d feel I want the extra work!
Anyone with a similar setup and experience of requirements and work involved for a small group of goldfish - stories welcome!
Meet the pond...

Very nice.
I like the two frog characters sitting on the side and their little wellies.

Looks lovely!
If you are thinking about adding fish be mindful of cats and herrings. My aunt in Denmark has a pond in her garden and they've lost quite a few to herrings, they are experts at spotting garden ponds and seem to know that they usually mean an easy lunch!

Ooooh, a doggy bath tub
How about leaving it for wildlife? I could imagine frogs and toads clambering up the sides to get in there... or have a small colony of sticklebacks?

Very nice!
My childhood was spent sat by the side of my dad's pond, I think its where my love of fish comes from.
