On an elephant hunt!

Tuesday 5th May: Ooh, what a chilly day. No sun to warm us today and then heavy rain at bedtime and all night.
We schooled for an hour and then walked to the boys' piano lessons, which went well. We all sit in one room for the hour and a bit we are there, and those not playing were doing their maths. From there we walked into town on an elephant hunt! We found Jumbo in her trailer but she was chained and couldn't come out, but did wave her trunk out at us one time. We walked home for lunch and then finished off our schooling in the afternoon.
Tea was duck from the neighbours. Duck shooting season started on 1st May and is very popular over here. Our neighbours had already been given 9 by Monday, so they handed 4 on to us. Last year I had roasted them but the meat was very dry. Today I cooked them in the slow cooker and they were better after 4 hours in there, but I think I might try all day when I do the others and see if that is any better. Pudding was a yummy toffee tart.
After tea we had movie night - we watched "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory", the 1971 version with Gene Wilder.
The photo is Jumbo hiding in her trailer. A bad shot but I didn't get to take any other photos today.
