As I am sure you have noticed many words and phrases have different
meanings.
Here we have back gardens, Americans have yards, American cars have
trunks,ours have boots etc,etc,etc. This often leads to misunderstandings. I
noticed it particularly when visiting relatives in NY. I also discovered
that not all Americans say "have a nice day", a popular misconception in the
UK. :-)
BTW, I live in Driffield, about 20minutes drive from Elvington, hope you
liked it here.

Don't really want to argue about this, been to York last year (Elvington),
and I know that the UK has a great tradition on ponds/gardens ! :-)

Just didn't understand the "US/UK" bit.

Where I live in Yorkshire, almost all villages have a pond that has been
there for many hundreds of years, some of these are quite small, and
even
dry up in the summer season. Many other small ponds / pools were formed
by
the Romans, and later Monks specifically for keeping fish for food.
These
would all be referred to as natural ponds, because of the habitat and
wildlife that they attract and support. Size and volume of water would
not
enter into the equation
