This small little pond lies behind the town hall and the police station and in front of the high school and its fields – and provides a small slice of heaven for children who are tired of watching siblings play soccer or play instruments or, well, do anything that they themselves are not involved in. There are geese and sometimes frogs, and butterflies make lazy circles around the area while swallows swoop about singing.
