On Monday we were treated not only to a Bank Holiday (an extra day off work) but also a gloriously beautiful day - this is a rare thing at the moment in England. We thought we needed to make the most of both of these occasions and headed out to the sleepy village of Loose in the Kent countryside to watch some Duck Racing.
We were not disappointed, there was everything one would expect from such an event - an ancient old pub serving superb English ale, colourful tents selling homemade cakes and jam, and a coconut shy which proved to be a challenge for both young and old!
Then there were the ducks, all 200 of them, plus an array of handmade boats.
Unfortunately none of our chosen ducks crossed the finish line first but we all had a great time and enjoyed the slow-paced simplicity of the day. In fact this wonderful old road sign summed it all up perfectly!
