Ducks in Mallorca

JR and Duck loved the fact that it is only a two hour flight from the UK to Mallorca. A longer flight would have left their little wings too tired to enjoy their holiday!

What a difference in weather! From the cold, dampness of Birmingham, they arrived safely in the warm sunshine of Alcudia. Their first task was to take the chill out of their little bones by putting plenty of sunscreen on their feathers and getting out beside the pool!



The island of Mallorca is a beautiful place. There are mountains, beaches and the scent of aromatic flowers in the air.


JR and Duck were very surprised to see a friend turn up at the same resort: Devil Duck had also had enough of the long cold winter in England and booked a package holiday to Alcudia. He had considered going to Magaluf, which is usually more his kind of place - being a devilish sort of duck, of course - but had opted for a quieter holiday to soak up sunshine.
The two little ducks decided not to spend too much time in Devil Duck´s wayward company and headed off to the marina for a view of the sunset over the hills.


Being two tired little ducks, they headed back to the hotel soon afterwards for a good night´s sleep so they would be ready to hit the beach the next day!

Less Than 48 Hours to Go!


JR and Duck aren't always this helpful around the house, but when it comes to going on holiday, they are the first two to wade in with a helping hand. Or wing.

Unfortunately, at the moment they keep getting in the way! If they aren't careful, they will end up in the suitcase, and that's no way for a duck to travel!

At Last ...

J R and Duck had a miserable winter. After enduring snow, rain and dark days, the news came: it's time to go on holiday again!

And though they have over two weeks until taking off, today they have let me know that they are eager to start packing and get their holiday under way!
