Cute Tea Cosy!

Cute Tea Cosy!
I saw this tea cosy in the window of a cafe in Mere. A bit of condensation at the bottom of the window. The PiP was from Waterside, Mere. As soon as the boys saw me, they were off! Probably quicker to walk than swim!

Before tea bags, when all tea was loose leaf, every house would have a tea cosy Jose Manuel ;-)) Maybe not quite like this one!! Yes they are Mallards and probably not so used to humans feeding them as some are.
Sunday greetings.

I do like that apt expression "your ducks in a row" from Joe :-) Mallards are "wimps", as we know, but you've captured them well! And if they run away from the camera, it's just that they disdain fame ;-)
I didn't know about this English tradition of Tea Cosy, which seems outdated in the age of "connected objects" but perpetuates a conviviality that is unfortunately losing ground. So: thank you for this testimony, Rosa!

Thank you for your very kind comments Eric. Yes, it is a good expression! Most Mallards that I see are quite happy to stick around, in case there is food, but these soon shot off!
Sadly tea cosies are generally a thing of the past, but recently may daughter's partner asked me if I could make one! I don't think it will be a knitted one though ;-))
