Do wood nymphs dance in the woods?

Yes, consuelo - but if I'm right in thinking of boles as the remains of a tree after it's been chopped down, you're not gonna get many wood nymphs in that wood

belM - It's a "yes" and an "occasionally" for me. I'd definitely have called your remains of a telegraph pole a bole.

bole=the bottom bit, including the roots in a live tree. And a bugger to dig up unless you've poured in some nasty toxic substances to kill off the roots first.
