A tale of plastic ducks, 50th wedding anniversary, and a slightly baffled cat. It's a quacker of a (duck) tale.

1. It began, as this things do, with an idea.

3. It was a raison d‘ucktre, so to speak

5. And thus, the ducks did arrive.

6. And keep arriving.

7. And continue to keep continuing to arrive…

8. Until the troops were mustered, and a Colonel appointed…

9. A leader anointed…

10. The Leader of the Quack. (Vroom! Vroom!)

11. As it happened, the cat took that last pun marginally better than expected.

12. Only marginally though…

13. Launch day came. Pre-flight nerves and henticipation…

14. Drakes in a Lake: The sequel to Snakes on a Plane?

15. Moving the ducks out.

16. More ducks than you can poke a stick at… as tested scientifically with a stick.

17. To those who did sign a duck of congratulations Thank you. With your help…

18. It all went rather swimmingly

19. Thank you.
