I find it rather odd that Mrs Duck, who seems to know so much about this particular festival, in actual fact knows very little.

She could perhaps buy a programme instead of relying on other people to do it for her. She could also ask the people at the establishments she does frequent if they would be willing to act as unpaid child minders for her? Or maybe I'm being unkind and Mrs Duck has an aversion to all things official!

I'm sure such an aversion would be incurable - shame really because it means her kids are missing out on all sorts of fun.

But there you go!
