My wife has an Italian friend who heard about our prize cache of duck eggs from Thygocanberra, and she wanted to make pasta with them so we happily gave her two duck eggs.
The pasta was a success, and the Italian family thought the pasta made from duck eggs was richer and nicer. We were treated to some of this home made 'duck' pasta, and we found it silkier than egg pasta and very scrummy indeed.

J.R.R. Tolkien: The Fall of Arthur
This book is recommended by Thygocanberra. I have a copy and will read with interest.
J.R.R. Tolkien: The Lord of the Rings
What can I say. My favourite book. I think I have at least four different editions.
R. G. Grant: Battle: A Visual Journey Through 5,000 Years of Combat
This is the dream book for wargamers. Literally hundreds of battles. Over 350 pages of full colour illustrations. I cannot recommend it highly enough.
John Gibson Warry: Warfare in the Classical World: An Illustrated Encyclopedia of Weapons, Warriors, and Warfare in the Ancient Civilizations of Greece and Rome
We all have a wonderful book with fantastic illustrations, that amazed us in childhood, and followed us to our grown up bookshelf. This is one of those books. (*****)
Antony Beevor: Stalingrad: The Fateful Siege: 1942-1943
In school we were taught such an English view of World War II. Now I have discovered the epic battles on the Eastern Front, truly gargantuan conflicts. This book is a great introduction to the Eastern Front and a brilliant history book. (*****)
We are glad that you liked the eggs.
The ducks seem to be going of the lay ...
though some are continuing to 'hold on' until they get outside and finding new places to 'hide' their eggs.
And one muscovy is very clucky and dutifully sitting on an empty nest and chasing all the other ducks.
