Duck shooting opened on Saturday and I was woken by the herald of gunfire at quarter to six. Poor ducks!!! I prefer a cup of tea and the sound of breakfast being made for me( yes, I have that kind of husband!).

We are surrounded by lakes and ponds and waterways of every sort..... Usually, duck nirvana. Not right now! This gorgeous pond will be a scene of duck carnage for the next month or so. Pity, it looks so tranquil.
