How I Craft Things
I am passionate about keeping busy and love the outdoors. I've since discovered that a little talent goes a long way too. Combine these and, with a little bit of knowledge gained on YouTube, I've been able to design and build an entire garden landscaping project.

Building a Pond
This turned out to be one of the hardest things I have done physically, not least as the soil is heavy clay below a light surface of earth. I also had never attempted anything quite like it before, so I had a lot to learn. It took weeks of digging and carting the earth uphill and two 8-cubic metre skips to haul it all away.

Building a Waterfall
We all know that water goes down hill. But how do you get it up the hill first? And then how do you make it look natural? This took a huge amount of learning and trial and error. I ended up dismantling the waterfall 3 times just to get it right. And then once it was all built, I had problems with water evaporation and leaching into the earth.
What am I up to next?
Foremost, I love travelling, capturing moments, creating memories. After that, I then turn these into home movies. Some of these I share on my YouTube Channel (https://www.youtube.com/@HindlesWorld/). Meanwhile, I’m learning how to create digital content. This is really hard to get right, besides the target audience I’m trying to attract may not use TikTok or Instagram. So please get in touch if you have some ideas, feedback or suggestions as to how I can improve. For instance, how do you engage or increase followers? Likewise, what are the correct “hooks” that grab attention? Is it REELS or POSTS or STORIES? In short, I’m trying to have some fun and my friends have suggested I share some of my projects online. Come and join the fun!
