I've had a quick look at my map, John, and it may be that the farm I'm
thinking of is Pond Farm on the Kelevedon Road at Tolleshunt D'Arcy or Pound
Farm even Pointers at Tolleshunt Major - though I don't think so. The name
Ponders is very familiar, perhaps I've seen it on the censuses? Hopefully
I'll remember where I've seen it. Let you know. I now have a chest full of
old Essex mags and enough to fill another one. Am I crackers, do you think?
Don't anwer that :-)
