April: Bees and Ducks

The weather was certainly better suited to ducks than bees but undaunted we set up the stall and the hive...



We waited patiently and as the clouds briefly split the wonderful people of Epsom and Ewell came out to see the duck race.

And a good number of them stopped by to try some local honey...


I can't pretend that the ducks weren't the stars of the show though.  At 2 o'clock prompt they were off!
Bobbing and weaving along the Hogsmill....




Sometimes with the help of a steward with a stick...


We caught a glimpse of them as they spun past ...



Sadly we haven't heard where our queen-bee-duck came in the race for big "corporate" ducks...we're presuming that means not in the top three!  Never mind - we've got plenty of time to redesign her for next year!!  Perhaps we could incorporate a little motor?
