[WillowTheWhisp]

It's probably a common name in many areas. I only know what Dean meant because I used to play round there as a child. There's a bridge over the stream where the road/lane goes through the ford and many a time I sat on that bridge dangling me legs,eating jam butties and drinking corporation pop.

I used to wade through the ford too and get my socks wet which never went down well when I got home, so I used to take them off to try to dry them. Why it never occurred to me to take them off before wading through the stream and thus not get them wet at all I'll never know!
