Arrrrgh today someone filled in " the puddle " in our farm yard in the name of " improvement " . I have known that puddle for 40 years ! I have washed my wellingtons in in for nearly as long . Sounds silly but i have a lot of fond memories of it .
In winter i used it to see how hard it was freezing by prodding the surfice . Went i was little it was exciting when it froze solid and we used it as a slide . Sometimes when it rained a layer of ice was under the water which gave you a nasty shock when you walked through it !!! We rode our bikes through it too spraying water about . It was always there . In hot summers it dried up and it was akward not having it to wash our wellies off ( we now have a tap ) but it aint the same LOL If i know anything a bout water ( and i do ) i expect it will reform washing out the gravel and re-appearing . Water is bad to control and does as it will .
Mmmm this has me thinking about Dent green rounabout that was there for all my life till the council scrapped it for a new style play ground . Fucking sacrilage . That roundabout was the green . It was Dent . It had history . Tossers.....
