Duck(ling) Season

Cherries are back in season. Dave bought me this little baggie from the fruit seller near his office (proving to be a good dealer). Cherries are available all year round from expensive places. But "in season" cherries, are a quantum leap in flavour. I will say to you ... HMMMM ... and screw up my face in that blissful way. May my house be littered with pips for as long as the season lasts.



And in other things spring like. The Swans on the raft in the secret lake, are no longer looking like big white rocks. They have brought some presents in the shape of some very ugly ducklings.



Just a thought though. Duck-ling gos-ling cygnet- why not swanling. Every other bird has a chick. Is it a swimming thing?
