- North East from my house is a field named the frog Field. It is on the property of the late Mr Livingstone. The only means of getting into it is by an iron gate which can be seen from the back of my house. Once it was infested by millions of frogs and the constant croacking from morning till night could be heard a far off. For that reason it was called the frog Field. Something happened and the frogs deserted the field. Now only one or two frogs croack and jump about in it. Owing to the changing of owenership the field was neglected and nettles and weeds grew in abundance. However the new owener is taking notice of its neglected state and has men pulling the weeds for him.
