Village at Easter


Kat is home for the weekend.  She has just taken Rick for a long run, he thinks she is absolutely wonderful.  



Last night it was the village quiz.  Kat and her friend, Annie-Beth, joined our team.  There were quite a few Easter related questions including who starred in the Easter Parade and who was Roger Rabbit's wife. Easy stuff to lull us in to a false sense of security. The picture round was flowers.  “I’ll do this” piped up Annie, “I used to be a florist before I joined the RAF!” We got top marks for that round and almost won, missing out on the trophy by one point.  We smiled bravely and applauded the winning team. Bah!

The weekend’s duck race has been cancelled.  Not enough water in the beck.

  1. That's like being a winner in my book. Wow. I have never been in a pub quiz but my brother and his wife do them and seem to always end up about 7th out of 10 or worse. You must have been a very clever team last night.

    1. Would have won if I could have remembered Degas' first name.

  2. Lovely blue skies in your photo of Rick! It's rainy here but milder so I'm not complaining. Too bad about the duck race, that sounds like fun!

    1. I think they may hold the duck race later in the year if we get some rain.

    1. Kicking ourselves, we made a couple of silly mistakes.

  4. Are the real ducks having to wear boots rather than flip flops?

    1. Absolutely, definitely not enough water for them to swim.

  5. Congratulations, you all did very well to come second in the quiz - better luck next time.
    You can have some of our rain - ideal conditions for a duck race ! It's poured down almost continually since last Thursday, and only once has it stopped long enough for me to take Inca for a walk. Finally stopped about an hour ago, but it still looks threatening. It's the most rain we've had since the last floods in 2007.

    1. Paul is praying we get rain soon for the garden, it's been an incredibly dry spring.
