A family trail to find them all. The children loved designing them and their designs were brought to life by artists :-) They are a bit of fun for the kids over the summer months.

The portion was a lot bigger than it looks in my photo. It was billed as a starter and it could easily have served two people. The food was delicious but I was overfaced by the size of the dish.

That is one of my favourite breakfasts. I used to forage for mushrooms with my grandpa when I was young. Are those mushrooms on toast? That is one of my favourite breakfasts.

The designs were by local school children and painted onto the ducks by artists. I really like the artwork on the one that I showed the bee close up shot. The ducks are to be auctioned to raise money for a local hospice and a local cancer charity. You can see the original paper design before it got painted onto a duck on the following link. http://letsgoquackers.co.uk/meet-the-family/ As to that tower... the concrete was blended with a red pigment to blend in with the local soil. I kid you not! I wrote about it some while ago: http://www.cheriesplace.me.uk/blog/index.php/2012/04/29/architecture-100-17-cooling-towers/ :-) The ducks are a temporary attraction over the summer, a fun walking trail for families.

I have managed to see 5 of them so far. I need to go on an extended walk to see the rest of them. Unfortunately local vandals have damaged a few of them after a night out on the town.
