> When Chris and me headed back to the house, we stayed in our wet jeans and tees from earlier in the day and enjoyed our walk down the lane in wet clothes. When we got to the house we decided to explore the wooded area by the gates before heading down to the house. Chris was walking ahead of me when he suddenly disappeared with a cry into the bracken before me, stepped cautiously ahead and found him up to his waist in sticky black mud, he was laughing but struggling to get out of the pit he had stepped into. I helped him out and he stood before me completely blacked up to his waist in shiny black goo. We made for the house, but I made him walk ahead of me in case we found another pit.

> When we got to pond in front of the house, I thought I would pace it out to see how big it was whilst Chris stood on the edge peering into the water wondering if there were any fish in it. I had my back turned when I heard a splash and turned to see Chris about ten feet out in the water, shaking his head and wiping water and green algae from his face. “I slipped” he called “but this water is lovely - come on in.” I watched swim out to the middle of the pond and then take a deep breath and sink down, I could still see the top of his head, just, as he did so and when he surfaced he called out that he had been standing on tip-toe, so we guessed the pond must be about six foot deep, as Chris is just about 5ft 10ins.

> He swam back to the side and clambered out through the reeds at the edge, he was covered in bits of pond weed and algae all over his clinging tee and jeans. He grinned at me and wiped some of the stuff off him

> “I think I might give the pond a miss for the moment” I said, looking him up and down and wiping a finger across his forehead through the algae, before wiping it clean on his shoulder.

> “Not an option - sorry …….. in you go !!” and he pushed me in. B*****D !

> He was right though, the water was warm. I swam across to the far side of the pond and climbed out, calling out for him to come and explore some more. We walked around the side of the house to the old stable yard and found several of the old carriage houses had been converted to garages as well as one with some old bicycles and one with a two wheeled pony trap, but everything was covered in dust and dirt, but dry, and had obviously been left like it for many years. There was a stone horse trough and pump on one side of the yard so tried it out to see if it still worked. Chris climbed into the trough and said it was just like a sarcophagus as he lay down in it. I tried the handle of the pump and it creaked a bit but eventually a few drops of water came out and after a few goes I got a steady stream of clean water. Chris sat up as the water splashed across his feet and then sat in the trough as it slowly filled with clear, but cold, water. He washed the algae and weed off him before clambering out and we went off the explore some more.

> We found the walled garden with the swimming pool and Chris climbed down among the litter of dead leaves which were ankle deep. He walked down to the deep end and then stretched up to gauge the depth. His reach was about three feet short of the top, so we guessed that in must be about 10 deep at the deepest point about five feet from the end. Chris climbed out and we explored a bit more. We paced the pool out and thought it must be about 40 x 25 feet, it was white tiled and one of them near the steps was inscribed with the words “Built in 1953 to celebrate the dawn of the new Elizabethan age.”

> After we had finished exploring we headed home after a final dip in the pond on the way out. We found our parents still in the pool so we joined them and told about our exploration.
