Wait for me!

Speed-duckling!

Spring has definitely sprung! Blossom, new leaves, flowers and 13 ducklings around the lake when I took Flame out this morning - very blue sky as well.
Talked to an elderly man who was very worried that he'd seen a grebe dive and it hadn't resurfaced, he thought it had drowned. I assured him it would pop up "any minute now, over there" - and it duly obliged! Think he was impressed (and relieved).
