Leicester_H Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 Since this is the font of all knowledge... We are travelling from Leicester to Omlet HQ (to collect nice new Eglu!) next Monday - making a day of it and visiting http://www.cotswoldchickens.com/index.htm I want to buy some of these http://www.theduckcompany.co.uk/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=2&zenid=b4efbd967941a0915ac157e1cf7e6978 You can get them mail order but P&P is 'too much' - anyone know anywhere near where we'll be next Monday that sells them ?? Just thought I'd ask and almost every question gets an answer on here. Thanks in advance, H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 I don't know about the ducks, but they have some very nice chickenalia at Cotswald Chickens. I was there on Saturday doing the despatch and dress course. I only spent a small fortune, it could easily have been more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 The national herb centre near Banbury has lots of nice things, I can't remember if they had those but it would be the sort of thing they would stock they are lovely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mutrix Farmers Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 I love these. I have a ceramic duck that looks very similar that we bought years ago in the Lake District, but I couldn't find them again the following year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 The national herb centre near Banbury has lots of nice things, I can't remember if they had those but it would be the sort of thing they would stock they are lovely I don't remember seeing them there last week, but I wasn't looking out for them. The Herb Centre is worth a visit though - one of my favourite places, and delicious homemade cakes too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky Mama Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 I don't know if you are going to be near the Burford Garden centre but it might be worth asking if they have them if you are close by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 Good idea CM, it's the sort of thing they'd stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chucky Mama Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 Most National Trust shops sell the ducks. Yes, there is one in the Swindon Designer Outlet but I am not sure that you will be coming down that far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 They didn't have them at the Herb Centre yesterday - but they do have them at Wyevale garden centre, the Stratford one, but that isn't really close to where you're going. http://www.wyevale.co.uk/on/demandware.store/Sites-Wyevale-Site/default/Link-StoreLocator/C1443430839 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rona Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 You could try contacting them via their website and ask if they have any stockists along your route. If you explain that their P&P is too much for you, maybe they will review it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
