For the past week we have been looking after our neighbours ducks. We just had to go in their garden every night to get the ducks in their pen and then let them out again in the morning.....
Ive been wanting to get ducks for awhile, Mr K said they would be too much bother, but after this week I think he may change his mind. Our neighbour said it usually takes half an hour to round them up and get them in for the night, but Mr K must have a knack because as soon as they saw him they came straight over. The male duck would quack abit and strut about just to let us know who was boss, but then he would go to bed no bother. I think Mr K quite enjoyed it so Im hoping he will change his mind and let us get some because I want to put a sign up like this one outside our house.....
What could be nicer than having freshly laid eggs? Our neighbour said they don't lay that many, but he brought us these to thank us for 'duck sitting'.....(Mr K got some beer too, but thats not appearing on my Blog.....
With the eggs I baked a cake.....
It was lovely and light..... I told Mr K it was because of the eggs and he could have cake everyday, but only if I get ducks of course!.....
I suspect the only ducks I will be getting are the same ones Hilda Ogden had in Coronation Street on her mural or as she called it her 'muriel'....LOL!..... If you understand that last statement you are showing your age!!!.....
