Flopsy, Mopsy and Cottontail.....

It is a good year for the rabbit population. We are blessed(!!) with large, medium and small ones - and now we can add 'tiny babies' to that list as well.

They have suddenly started to appear in the garden close to the house, seemingly completely fearless. They must know my husband is a soft touch. The last one he caught enjoyed a four mile car ride to a better home but I think it must have had homing instincts because it - or one of it's relatives - was back pretty soon!
He just smiles at their antics and tells me to 'chill'. You will surmise from this that I am not 'rabbit friendly'. Wait until he comes home from work and finds they have decimated his crop of french beans. That will wipe the smile off his face!

Aaaah sweet! At least they are nicer looking than the army of slugs and snails decimating my veg plot. XX
