As always on a Bank Holiday weekends, this is another hectic one here, well all except for Friday morning of course, when understandably most people were glued to the TV watching the Royal Wedding. We did have some visitors in garden while this was going on though - a Canada Goose called in for a cuppa (pond water of course) and a bit of a rest and then a group of 10 cyclists made us their first port of call on their 100 mile journey - they were all making the most of the time off work!

At the Jinney Ring, the staff put out the bunting for the Royal Wedding and then held a High Tea in the restaurant - all very "English" with sandwiches and scones! Most of those working managed to catch glimpses of the ceremony during the day.

On Saturday and Sunday we had our own little celebration here with the arrival of "drainpipe duck"'s babies - they started "pipping" on Friday and by Sunday nine out of the eleven eggs had hatched and the ducklings were swimming on the pond. Mum has now abandoned the drainpipe and is keeping her babies around the pond area.
