Aaaah, so cute

I thought I'd spare you pictures of the roadkill I saw on my walk from Perranwell to Mylor today (squirrel this time, not fox) and would treat you to this sentimental one instead... I flagged down a van going at the speed of light so that Madam Duck could continue crossing the road with her brood. As the van approached she obviously had no intention of turning back and just stood there in the middle of the carriageway quacking at the little ones. Hope Kim doesn't find one of them washed up in the creek again in the next few weeks; which reminds me - that might well account for the lingering smell in the house...
