It’s pouring with rain today, but this pair of wild mallard ducks seem unperturbed. They’ve taken up residence on our garden pond.

I have been persuaded to write this by my husband, Malcolm, who seems to be under the mistaken impression that I will be able to write something that other people will actually want to read.
