I'd rather Duck

This sign amused me this afternoon. It was on the battlements of the Military Museum in Dorchester above the door to one of the turrets one has to pass through. Much more fun than the usual alternative warning.

We whizzed down to Dorchester this afternoon and while I went to the dentist cousin George from Melbourne visited the Museum which is housed in the keep of the old military barracks. He was suitably impressed with all the memorabilia and history on display there relating to the Devon and Dorset Regiments.

Back on the farm, there have been problems with the small underground water reservoir which has sprung a leak. A horrendous water bill drew our attention to this. A plumber came out last night but unfortunately failed to fix it owing to all the different materials the pipes are made from, so the water has been on and off now for nearly two days. We have now got it sorted!

The sad news also came through that the farmer the police were searching for last night in the woods was found. He had a tragic end. None of us knew him.
