Help Please - Blyton place / field names
Posted: 27 Jun 2016, 18:32
Thinking caps on please my friends.
On 29th March, I achieved a wish, a dream I'd harboured for almost a decade. I became the proud owner of some land. Conveyancing on the land began 9 years ago and fell through, leaving me heartbroken. I saved and saved and every winter would contact the owner, asking him again. To cut a long story short, I now own the land I'd set my heart on all those years ago.
It's been left, neglected for 30 years. Trees had been planted, and their guards left on, some died, most made it, but many were struggling withe the guards making their barks constricted or wet.
So, I have land, it has no name. It's referred to purely as The Field at the moment,but needs Blyton related names, so please give me any you can think of from either the Treasure Hunters, the Famous Five, Secret Seven of Adventure Series.
There is a large hollow on the land, which I'll name Big Hollow, but I need names for the following:
Two ponds
Three Copses
A field that's to be split (so multiple names)
Barn
And the site itself. I was considering Green Hedges, but it doesn't suit it somehow. I re read Finniston Farm as I remember one the trip round the farm, they were told of Faraway Field, Tinker's Wood, Hangman's Copse, The Oak Tree Field (I do have oaks) and another one which has slipped my mind.....
So, thinking caps on please folks, it's very Blytonish down there, I'll plant some gorse in honour of the five, and yesterday I went digging and found the old well - all capped off and clean, just perfect, it was a real adventure....
Any help advice, etc appreciated, I'm saving to plant another copse so that'll also need a name.
Thank you
