Lost Pond

"This way!" "No, This Way." "Dad, I want to go this way."

Coming back from school, the local shop, or (in this case) the Doctors' Surgery (where Little W had his booster jabs - without flinch or a squeak; good for him), we often have this discussion at a fork in the path. Usually we go down the back leafy lane, but Little Miss (who came too) wanted to go and see the pond.

Woodland Ways Pond, just beside one of the paths in the famously healthy Moreton Hall area of Bury St Edmunds, is one of those places that is great for exploring, playing hide and seek, bug-hunting and pond-dipping. But look at it now.


Pond. What pond? It will take more than the tiny sprinkle of rain that we got yesterday to bring it back.
