Ducks away!

And off they go - the duck race. Each duck has a big black number on its back. So you know who's won.

Although it was a beautiful afternoon, sunshine, no wind. I preferred to remain in the barn, wood fire, wine and plenty of good crack, or is it craich, ah well good chat anyway. Actually it wasnt so much a preference as that I kept being cornered and talked at. By young and old. Take it as a compliment.

Unfortunately we had to leave before the barbecue, guests arriving - still havent (7p.m.)
