LITTLE DUCK
This is Little Duck and if he was in the family photo you may have been able to see where he got his name from. Oh, he is in the header photo next to Blue Duck. That should give you the perspective. He is little and very gorgeous. He's not in the family photo as he doesn't live with us any more, he's gone back to his real home. He did live with us for about 6 months and went to Europe with Blue Duck and myself last year - as well as my son, daughter and son-in-law. They didn't travel in my suitcase though - my real children I mean. The ducks travelled in my suitcase and in Europe were often in my handbag awaiting photo ops. I think I've mentioned already that the ducks love a photo op.
Anyway, Europe with the ducks is another blog after everyone has been introduced, mustn't break the thread. Also, Little Duck has a very interesting history and I hope to be able to write that for him at a later date.
I must mention my son. I met up with him first in Europe, in Paris to be exact and Alex had to put up with me and the ducks having photo ops - the Eiffel Tower one is lovely. (Are you happy now you have a mention, dear?)
BELL DUCK
Meet Bell Duck. My daughter and I had a few shopping moments in Belgium while the boys did war things - museums, war sites etc. We did that as well and it was very interesting but we also had some shopping moments.
Oops, back to the duck. I found Bell Duck in a wonderful shop off the main drag in Bruges, Belgium - therefore Bell Duck. He's very arty and I thought a great combination with Blue Duck and Little Duck. They all travelled quite nicely together for the last week. That was in July 2008 and he is still with us (of course, he has no reason to leave).
Bell Duck doesn't say a lot, not sure if that is because he speaks Flemish and French as his main languages. I admit to not really checking the extent of his English. Anyway, he doesn't look unhappy and I'm sure he would make it known to us somehow if he wasn't.
TRAVEL DUCK
TRAVEL DUCK
Travel Duck got his name because he is covered with visa stamps (fairly obvious) but he hasn't travelled with us, he came after we had been travelling. He came into my life via my eldest sister. Thank you again, I am loving the combinations of the ducks and the breadth of their experience. In that respect he HAS travelled as he flew in from Brisbane, via Australia Post and seems quite happy to sit next to the very well travelled Blue Duck.
Oh yes, that was in August 2008.
