Is there anything more evocative than a village green?

Back in 1923, when our grandparents were given the farm as a wedding present, the whole area was farmland. In 1995 we had the idea of using some of our land to create a focal point to the village and came up with the idea of the green, right opposite our farmhouse. It makes a welcome sight in Spring  and we love hearing the kids charging around it on their bikes.  The green provides a recreation space for everyone and it is astonishing to see how the trees have shot up since 1998.
