Why not?

I really don't know why I couldn't eat them. . They looked really nice as well with deep yellow yolks.

Just that there is a farm shop not far away that sell them. I keep saying I will try them but worried I may crack them and be put off by the sheer size.

I had a pair of ducks. To be honest I could never bring myself to eat the eggs they produced as scrambled, or fried or poached. I could only eat them when I used them to make cakes (the eggs not the ducks).

Duck Sponge Cake

The ducks no good at mixing I take it.

Have a goose egg put down in front of you at the table. "Eggs will be ready soon" followed by the goose egg being put down in front of you as a kid.

Had goose eggs a couple of times as a kid. Bit too rich for me at the time and haven't had one for years - must give them another go sometime.
Pheasant eggs are quite nice, used to get a good supply of them when I lived in Worcestershire.

Doggie walk done.

I'm off to the potager to clear up, not done any tidying since last Friday and considering there has been much rain and this is the main part of the growing season a lot of work awaits!

Be worse if it were inside!

You'd know you have a problem with your roof

Finding the golden rivet?

 

[172traindriver]

Blame the ducks.

On strike or late

Out of interest do you know the life guard at Trearddur Bay? Age nid 40s(ish). Long hair worn in a pony tail.

No I don’t. Trearddur Bay beach is another no go area for me. In fact just cycling through T.Bay during the summer school hols is a challenge.

Received via e-mail, reckon it'll be genuine?

It definitely doesn't feel like August, I've been down to the Plant Centre in Barby this morning, ridden 60 miles. I was in longs, a long sleeved top, and I had cold hands for most of the ride. A morning I couldn't make my mind up, my original planned route was abandoned while I was still at home, I then thought I'd go to Welesbourne but got out the other side of Baginton and decided on Willoughby, approaching Willoughby I thought no I'll go to Barby, so crossed the A45 and climbed up to the water tower then turned right to the Garden Centre. On the way back I decided to turn right by the water tower and pick up a regular route home going through Kilsby, riding a section of the A5, then turning left through Crick and onto yelvertoft where I turned right to ride home past Stanford Hall.

Gorgeous sunny afternoon here in North Devon.
We just had a stroll down to the village to pick up a newspaper. Quick mooch around the shops. Sat eating an ice cream, chatting to the Grockles on the village green.
We then fell into the White Lion for a bag of crisps and a couple of pints of excellent Quantock Brewery Pale Ale. Put the world to rights with the landlord for an hour, or so, and then sauntered back home in the sun.
Everything is good with the world and I am a contented man.
Life can be so simple and rewarding.
