This was a great place to be; us kids with grubby cut knees - did how we pleased - caught Tadpoles, Newts, and Frogs, stared in wonderment at helicopter like Dragonflies, heard Skylarks far up on high, who's the first to spot him/her, little bird in deep blue sky! We kids of the 50s early 60s have now gone, and I wonder when all that wondrous magic pond water had gone. But there must still be nature's creatures here in there, maybe more than one or two!
