Much fun was had today at PuncCon – a bunch of geeks get together every year, hire punts on the River Cam in Cambridge and mosey down to Grantchester Meadows for a big picnic. We thought bringing along my big duck, Shifty to tow behind our punt would be a good idea. And it was!

Shifty enjoyed himself on the bank as well as on the water.

Someone gave Shifty too much Pimm’s, and so he was weaving all over the place trying to swim behind our punt.

Finally we reached Grantchester Meadows and enjoyed our picnic on the grass, along with Mr Duck, Seedy, Sunny and Strawby.
