I wouldn't want to bore my readers though!<br /><br />Jan - The young Shelduck did seem very determined in "the flesh" as well!<br /><br />Karen - thanks - it's one of the smaller NT gardens but good for a gentle stroll on the doorstep - sos to speak!<br /><br />Keith - yes I'm very lucky to have so much at close quarters. There's Emperor Geese in Kew Gardens as well - they are rather elegant aren't they!<br /><br />John - it's enormous and I was pleased the couple of people wandered into shot to get some perspective. There's also a very very large one not far from there at Painshill - it must be something in the soil!<br /><br />Miranda - I think my young visitor is enjoying himself - but I'm sure he'd rather be at home by the seaside with no school though ;)<br /><br />I've been to the Flower Show a few times but have given it a miss for the last couple of years. It's much larger than Chelsea and is in a wonderful setting of course. More civilised than Chelsea? - not with the hordes of people visiting if you don't like crowds (as I don't)<br /><br />Hope you feel better soon!!!Tricia Ryderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05010432313312804286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2900331650867078349.post-54778317336716085542009-07-10T13:24:08.414+01:002009-07-10T13:24:08.414+01:00Sorry I've been rather absent over the last we...Sorry I've been rather absent over the last weeks and am at home today not feeling great so thought I'd catch up on a few of my fav blogs! I'm sure your little visitor must enjoy staying with you with all the interesting walks you got on - love the pics of the ducklings... and although the traffic must be an absolute pain must admit I'd love to take a peak at Hampton Court Flower Show one of these days - a bit more civilized than Chelsea? Take care and enjoy your weekend MirandaMiranda Bellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04840434272680732958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2900331650867078349.post-70162180901571281152009-07-10T08:47:39.025+01:002009-07-10T08:47:39.025+01:00That Cedar even dwarfs my Leylandii.

You always manage to find interesting birds to photo and never miss the awww shots. :)<br /><br />I would hate to live near one of the popular events which clogs up the local roads. The nearest here is Cadwell Park, several miles away, which draws in hundreds of motor cyclists on to our narrow roads.Midmarsh Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10980417659811194899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2900331650867078349.post-71479005929861144762009-07-09T22:26:13.906+01:002009-07-09T22:26:13.906+01:00You've got some very nice 'spots' to w...You've got some very nice 'spots' to wander where you are Tricia.<br />That Cedar looks huge; and the people in the picture really show its size.<br />Love those Emperor Geese, they look very majestic.
