Additions to the zoo.

We finally gave in to the begging and pleading from E and said yes to a rabbit. We had to then say yes to another one or R would be upset. So yesterday two little bunny babies came to live with us. They are so cute and fluffy, I am totally won over. They are dwarf lionhead crosses and are six weeks old. At the moment we don't know if they are boys or girls but they are living together in the same hutch as they love cuddling up together. The breeder has said they can stay together for a couple of months then we have to separate them. Without furthur ado here are a couple of pictures.

















At the weekend it was the local village fete, E was doing her bit on the Brownie stand and volunteered to join the 'Its a Knockout' team with the Brownie leaders and dads. Each team was made up of four adults and two kids and E was the only actual Brownie on the team! Anyway they won the competition so E now has a huge trophy sitting in the living room, she is allowed to keep it for a couple of weeks and then pass it on to Brown Owl to look after.
D has headed off to Scotland for 5 days with his mates for a motorbiking holiday so I have a few days off work and peace and quiet in the house, it is bliss. I am making some bootees for a friends new baby and also have a secret project on the go for a knitting friend who has a birthday coming up. It involves sewing and crochet and I'm not sure that it will work out as I am making up my own design as I go. I will post pictures up if it all goes well.

How cute are they!!! Careful though! DH still dislikes taking on any animal as he so clearly remembers being lumbered with his sister's rabbits, especially recapturing the escapees, once the novelty had worn off! He has of course fallen, like the whole world, for the cahrms of Dog's trust mr. Boo!
So resonate with your enjoyment of the quiet, alone times that are so few and far between! Luxuriate!!!
