We used to leave the coves when we got tired of that and went up to Symmonds Hill and Fox Head pond. In the wintertime that's where we went. We went there every evening. The boys cleared it off and we skated up there - playing hockey. Sliding on Symmonds Hill all winter long. In winter we used to go down to Wild Cove pond after school and clear it off. Skated there and then be home by supper. That's it, no one worried about us. Pretty carefree.
