I was born in Brighton in the South of England and, as a child, my parents would take us to visit this little pond. My siblings and I loved it! We took food for the ducks and a picnic for ourselves and it was a lovely day.
As an adult I have been back to the pond several times, this time taking my parents in my car. We sat and enjoyed an ice cream, watching the ducks, herons and seagulls squabbling over food. On the green area near the pond I have seen families with young children sitting having a picnic just as we did.
This picturesque little island on Falmer Pond in Sussex, England, has several beautiful weeping willows that provide shade and a nesting area for the ducks and other wildfowl that inhabit the pond. In the image you can see the reflections of the willows in the water. Willow Island on Falmer Pond provides a little oasis of tranquility for all who visit.
