2017 – Thanks to Martha & Istvan
Dear Martha & Istvan;
Dear Ducks
It took me 14 days to wake up from the dream, I dreamed in Balatonfüred – and another 14 days to find the right word which could express my gratitude to you both for the perfect organisation of the “Red Duck reunion” at the Balaton lake.
This word must probably be quoted in the “Secret Book of Secrets” as:
Thanks for a wonderful time!
- Thanks: for your hospitality
- Thanks: for your kindness
- Thanks: for showing us the skills and the beauty of porcelain
- Thanks: for an evening full of joy; excellent wine and food
- Thanks: for keeping our friendship alive…
With thanks from…
Sir Ducky & family
2017 – Balatonfüred
Balatonfured
2017 – An Royal Encounter
An Royal Encounter
Balatonfüred was a paradise for Sir Ducky and his fans.
On arrival; a fleet of Hungarian Ducks greeted us with an impressive parade
And at the hotel, the “Danubis” were also present to welcome us
This all was organised by our friends Martha & Istvan who told us that Hungary was really honoured by the visit of the descended of their world-famous poet who lived, years ago, in the caves of the Turil (see Budapest).
When visiting the splendid porcelain factory,
Sir Ducky was welcomed by “ASLAN”, The-True- and-Magnificent-Lion-King, Son of the Emperor-beyond-the-Sea, ….
…. and loved by all of us
At Bécsvárad, the Benedictine Abbot invited some of Ducky’s female escort on his diner table. A happening that has never been recorded before.
In the evening, at the Royal Banquet, the best of the Hungarian wine was served
(Some newspapers have reported that some of us… looked deep into the glass)
The Ducky Family was gently handed over to the Keeper 2018, and accepted it with pleasure.
An unique book, called:
The Secret Book of Secrets
was offered to Istvan as thanks for his hard work
The evenig ended under loud applaus .
…and flowers
