Mike, a Brit expat who spends most of the year in Thailand taking photos and blogging, sent us this charming photo of his hometown of Oxton, Nottinghamshire. If you're wondering what everyone's doing, they're trying to see whose little rubber duckie will make it to the finish line first. Mike says the biannual event has strict rules—no interfering with your duck!—and the course is 800 yards along the village brook, which includes a couple of bridges.You know we love to say "only in England," but a friend of ours recently entered a duckie in a similar event in... West Virginia.
You can see Mike's great photos of Thailand at his photo blog. And many of you read my life-as-a-Yank interview on one of his other blogs, British Expats Directory.
If you have a great photo of England, send it on (72 dpi please)! If we post it, we'll link back to you.

Hi Denis thanks for including my photograph in your blog and the links.
Keen observers will notice that the first obstacle to overcome is the pipe in the foreground-only the "duck master" can free any plastic ducks caught in this trap!
ROFLOL Great photo, Mike!
I just wanted to let you know I received a very exciting surprise in the mail today - A copy of your book! Can't wait to crack it open - as soon as I finish with this comment!
