I think it's a Muscovy Duck heather but ornamental ducks are not really my field!
Several neighbours keeps lots of ducks and geese. I assume they therefore have lots of eggs.
Ha Mark. It's supposed to be summer (even though it's been warmer in lots of the NZ's North Island!) although today is warm (18℃!!!) and sunny and calm - and therefore midgy!.
I read your blog this afternoon and then David, Kate and I had dinner at your house this evening. Very nice it was too. BUT I am very suspicious. We had duck as the main course!! Lots of love xx

LIFE
Life isn't about dawdling to the grave, arriving safely in an attractive, wrinkle-free body but rather an adventure that ends skidding in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, totally worn out, screaming "Yee-ha. What a ride!!"

Having lived the majority of my life in the Hebrides where my heart is, I feel I can now call myself a Hebridean. For nine years I lived half my life in New Zealand: a country I love. It was an honour being a part time Kiwi.
Hahaha...love it!! And, what's that big one on the side of the road?
