Ducks.
Oh, for ducks' sake!
I went out this afternoon to buy some parkin for my post-ride treat but I had forgotten that it was Easter Monday. Easter Monday here is when the annual Duck Race takes place ...
Never fear, animal lovers, they do not use real ducks! The local Rotary Club have hundreds of numbered yellow plastic ducks which get tipped into the river from one bridge and collected in a net a couple of bridges down stream. A small entry fee gets you a duck to enter in the race. All profits go to charity. If your duck is one of the first 3 out of the net, you win a prize.
It was a real battle to fight my way through to the parkin shop. You'd think the tourists have never experienced a sunny bank holiday before! Or maybe they just like yellow plastic ducks ...
