Hello Me Ducks

Well hello me ducks as been along time since I have made an entry due the the fact that this April as been one of those months when the lack off duck weather as been very apparent so have been out and about with friends enjoying the great spring weather. We had several visits and walks over the counties off Warwickshire and The West Midlands and all have been enjoyable. Kenilworth, Sutton Park, Stratford Upon Avon, Meriden, Harthsill Hayes and Fillongley plus all the other local woodland walks we like to do. With the clocks going forward at the end of March and the days drawing out as given us that extra time in the evening to explore the countryside again. It as been very rewarding seeing things start to jump back to life. The bluebells are up now in the woodlands and giving off a lovely scent and the trees are maturing nicely. Deers can be seen at dusk and the birds are very cherppy now.



The blog reached it's first birthday on March 3oth and from then on birthdays have seemed to be the theme for the month with two of our friends birthdays to attend plus Jons, so it as been very tiring. Easter saw us once again in Temple Balsall where we had a nice outdoor tea with our friends Rob and Dawn and an old family friend Margaret and Jons Mum another Margaret. We had the dogs with us Spritzer and Sam so took a walk round the beautiful village of Berkswell after. Robs birthday was a grand affair which saw me having my first ride in a limousine. A glass of Champagne then onto to Frankie Benny's for a wonderful dinner followed by a game of ten pin bowling. Jon's birthday came a few days after and saw us in Selston for another nice meal cooked by his sister Jill. It was rather good and with time after for a little drink in the garden and to grab a few of the suns rays which we have been blessed with this month. Another birthday bash a few days later at our friends Teresa's for a BBQ and a go in her hot tub. One piece of advice when jumping into the hot tub make sure you empty your pockets of all elctronic equipment as I didn't and ended up frying my rather expensive mobile phone. We had some sad news the night of the party that a new friend was killed in a motor bike accident and his wife was seriously ill in hospital so our thoughts and prayers go out to all concerned at this sad time.


Well there are loads more I could write about but would have to go on for ever so just remains for me to say enjoy the spring and make the most of this summer like weather we are having at present that's if you are in Britain of course. We will be on our hols in a few week to Spain apparently England is warmer at present.
