I’ve been watching two of them go in and out of the barn for the last few days. Could they be thinking of nesting there?

The u3a walking group traversed the fields and made a pilgrimage to Tempsford Airfield, Gibraltar Farm where the barn houses mementoes from the SOE (the special operation executive) where brave men and women set off during the Second World War to fly into occupied Europe – often sacrificing their young lives.

We owe them a debt of gratitude. The letter below was written by a local schoolchild on the 75th anniversary of VE Day

And the plethora of rhubarb. I just had a slice with a cup of coffee. It’s good!

As for the ducks, half of them found an escape route out of the run and were discovered in the courtyard. I herded them back with a broomstick but one is still AWOL

Every week I clean out the duck bath and all the water bowls and give the birds fresh, clear water.

And within 24 hours all the water is as muddy as it was before. Mucky ducks! click below
