Three Little Ducks Went Swimming One Day . . .

Much excitement in the Chatty Baby house today!  It’s What? Wednesday and Mammasaurus launched Percy Pinecone yesterday for her entry this week . We agree that leaving a tangible ‘thing’ for people to find might be the way forward.  So here goes!
Mummy was casting her mind back to the days when globe-trotting gnomes made the papers with tales of sending postcards home from around the world and so, today, we have launched three little ducks out into the big, wide world!
Each has instructions to leave it somewhere, with a photo, and I’ll keep track of their progress here.  In fact, I’m so hoping they’ll take off, so to speak, that I might even give them their own page. I’ll post updates on their progress and see where this little ducky jailbreak takes us.  Imagine if one made it across The Pond!  Perhaps I’m thinking about running before walking, but hey, Mummy always says to “think big.”
We left the ducks at Cheddar Gorge; one on the roof of a car belonging to West Country Ales, the second at the Cheddar Gorge Cheese Company, and the third on the windowsill at the Fortes cafe. The first and third were gone within half an hour, so I’m hoping for big things.





If you see one of my ducks, do get in touch!

    Ps. I love the idea of a separate page for the ducks! I plan on leaving mini mammasaurus's with a page of their own too - it's a new craze!

    Oh I can't wait to see where they go!! Best stop writing moody notes now and come up with something myself! I will have to stop leaving moody notes unless I want a legal suit as contact!

    Hi! Congratulations on your marriage! Hope you had a lovely honeymoon. I'm glad it was your son who found my duck. Will you be leaving him somewhere to continue his travels or does he live in St Austell now?

    Thanks for getting in touch x

    Good stuff. Do you have Duck 2 or Duck 3? Duck 1 was found (on the roof of the car) but I don't know whether he'll be on the road again. I'll try and find out.

    Good luck finding somewhere fun to put Duckie! x
