AA Milne’s WHEN WE WE VERY YOUNG Part 2: the ghost of a golf course, and a swan called Pooh

It’s the second part of our adventure with AA Milne’s astonishingly popular book of verse for children, WHEN WE WERE VERY YOUNG. And, like Milne himself often was, we’re back on a golf course – or at least, we’re in where an Addington golf course used to be, and we’re wondering if Milne played there. We also visit somewhere rather special – Decoy Cottage in Sussex, where Christopher Robin spent his first handful of summers, and where there was a swan on the pond called Pooh. All of which is guiding us towards the inevitable – the birthplace of Winnie the Pooh, Cotchford Farm in East Sussex, where we inevitably leave our car in the Pooh Car Park, throw sticks off the Pooh sticks bridge, and mourn the unlikely death of a global rock superstar in the same garden where Christopher Robin played.
