The Dew Pond

A Memory of Wembley Park.

I used to play around this pond, ride my bike through the edges, and later on caught fish here. Many of those were aquarium species that had been released into the pond. We used to catch goldfish often, and I once placed a crayfish into this pond that I'd brought home from a fishing trip.
Our bikes were far from mountain bikes but we hurtled down the other side of this hill on various tracks through the tussocky grass. On another occasion, at the request of the owner, we chased an out of control model airplane for miles down the hill and across a main road into some farm fields before it crashed to earth.
