I purchased 2 ducks, both were gorgeously hand painted. I had personalised name Tags made for both of them. 1 was a disco duck with pink sparkly wellies. This one was for Lorraine- she is full of life, and loves to dance...perfect! Lorraine (named the disco duck after her) now looks after the old george after taking up residence in the garden log cabin/bar. She will be admired for a long time I'm sure. 2nd duck (named after my daughter) wears a vibrant cerise rain coat, a sow wester hat and matching boots...bang on trend for the British weather! This was bought for Ami who loves walking and splashing in puddles with her two young children. Again, a befitting duck for a young fun family. This duck will not be alone for very long, as I will be sending a list to santa to bring her some friends at Christmas, maybe the blue & white football duck, and if still available the cricketer. The unique characteristics of the dcuk range is the little initial button on their bottom, that's a cute. So well made, that I give them a 5* rating. Go on...treat yourself to a duck/penguin/bird, they are all gorgeous.
