I know, bit of a mouthfull innit?

As some of you know, I went to a Fete yesterday that was supporting saving a natural wildlife area from being built on.

They were having a duck race plus a cake stand to raise money for the cause. So this I thought would be a great Easter contribution, plus a little fun for an hour or two. So as promised, here are a couple of pics of the madness

The choosing of Rosa the Duck

I would like to point out that I was ridiculed here for decorating my duck as a budgie and was swiftly informed afterwards that it wasn't an art competition

I would like to add that my OH's duck apparently didn't finish as he didn't clear Beeches Brook

And Rosa would have been very beautiful as a budgie-duck. *And* she didn't disgrace you by not finishing the crossing! Is this the area some i@#*t wants to build on?

I'm afraid it is Hezz

to the left of the river pictures there is a whole huge field where wildlife surround the area with willow trees and shrub, plus people use it to walk dogs, have childrens fairs etc etc.

I was really surprised at the turnout as despite it being sunny, it was very windy and cold!

But everyone came through in fine style and managed to raise a good amount of money for the cause.

It has now made the local paper and the Councillors are doing everything they can to save it so lets keep our fingers crossed!

Good luck and fingers well and truly crossed to keep your green space. Green space is so important to have. Why don't the powers realize this? Oh, that's right, that wouldn't make any money!!!!!!!!!!!

Dirty filthy lucre!

I like ducks.

Many years ago my house was on the ducks' walkway to the river just out the back. Mum and her ducklings often used to walk in the back door and file through the living room to get out through the french doors on the other side of the house - while we were all sitting there watching telly or having breakfast. It was pretty funny.

We just had to let them find their own way out, because if you tried to shoo them, they'd poo everywhere!
