Normandy Pond
The pond is on Normandy Common and is a SNCI (Site of Nature Conservation Importance). It is probably not natural and was possibly dug for sand extraction in the eighteenth century. It was apparently in a very overgrown state by the mid-1980s when local residents, under the umbrella of Normandy Parish Council, volunteered to restore it. Read here http://www.normandyhistorians.guildford-surrey.co.uk/pond.html for the full story of the restoration.
The photograph was taken late in the afternoon of a day during a period of weather with continual clear skies resulting in cold nights and comparatively warm days for February. Despite the ambient temperature of around 8º Centigrade at the time, the pond had not unfrozen at all during the day.

Normandy Village Sign
Looking along Guildford Road at the junction with Hunts Hill Road.
The village sign is well worth a picture. Normandy is the name of the village but it is quite a scattered one made up of a number of smaller communities including Willey Green and the festive sounding Christmas Pie, which is part of Flexford.
The cricketing figures are no doubt significant, but local knowledge needed on that one.
