A birth announcment by happypat

A birth announcment

Harry & I are thrilled to announce the birth of seventeen baby ducklings !!

I looked out of the kitchen window this afternoon & was just amazed to see mummy & daddy duck with all these babies.
In all the years we have lived in this house we have fed these ducks every year but they have never brought their babies to see us before.
So pleased to see them....I hope they all survive a good walk to the nearest pond.
This photo is pretty blurred as it was taken quickly through the window.

Please don't feel you have to comment on either of my photos today as I am filling dates but have no time to comment much this weekend.
Neglecting 365 horribly as we have a big family get together for my niece & her family who are all emigrating to Brisbane on Monday.

Three good things:
1. New life.
2. My sister & her husband coming for the weekend..we haven't seen them for eighteen months. Although they only live in Norfolk we are all too busy or we don't make the time...I see my family in NZ more often!
3. Supper all in the oven.
Excellent

How awesome that the ducks brought their babies to your place! This is just heartwarming! fav
April 12th, 2014  
Aww got to fav them! How exciting - there's an American book set in Boston called 'Make way for ducklings' - I'm sure our US friends will know it - an old classic. Any way it's about mummy duck taking her babies to the pond - you could write the Great Eccleston version! Meanwhile -Brisbane? How exciting - sounds like an extension to your NZ trip in the offing. And a trip to Norfolk means a trip to Cambridge!

Amazing pat, you were only just saying they never come!! A big fav for such a big announcement. Top tip though, don't count them anymore!
