40 days and 40 nights

It certainly feels like the rain is never ending here.  Poor little bunnies aren't getting much outside time at present, nor are the humans :(

So, our visitor Sylvain spent the weekend as follows.

Helping the human to do some work

"Can we play solitaire next please?"
 Trying out the boy's toys... you can see which he preferred!
"I feel the need, the need for speed!"

Sylvain is visiting from Cottontails baby (fabulous toy shop)

*GUEST POST* from our house guest


Sylvain from Cottontails writes:

Bonjour, hello my friends.

Yesterday I arrived in Essex, a county in the South East of Great Britain. From here, it is not far to France at all!  I hopped out of my travelling case and met my very obliging hosts, Blossom, and Buttons, and their humans of course.  

Here are some snaps from my visit so far.
In greeting, I offered my felt carrot to Blossom and Buttons as all good house guests bring gifts... they were not interested in it though... what did I do wrong?

We soon became friends and had a little horse play!  It is raining in Essex today so Blossom offered me a ride on her back so my paws would not get damp.They showed me around their shed, and Blossom read some of the Guardian newspaper to me.  What cultured little rabbits! I shall like it here!







Buttons invited me into his playroom in the human's house and introduced me to some of the other rabbits that live here...
There was this one guy, called Peter Rabbit, (the one in blue) who regaled us with stories of how he and his cousin Benjamin Bunny crept under a gate into a garden and stole some cabbages!  What a riot!

The human then said "I need to get on with some work now Sylvain, and you can sit down and have a cuppa rosie (I googled, apparently this is 'Essexlish' for a cup of tea)... wait til the little man gets home from nursery Sylvain... then we'll have some adventures and show you the real Essex."   ooooh, how exciting!

Until next time!

So unimpressed!

So apparently the clocks changed last night, whatever that means! All we know is that we had to wait an extra hour for our breakfast this morning and that stinks! Can someone please call the police? Our human is letting her standards drop!

What's that? It means we get dinner late too????? Unbelievable!

Could not get more comfortables!

Taken through the window so not great quality, but I do love sneaking up on them when they are sooooo relaxed!

"Like us" Shameless promotion

We've entered a competition at our local vets. All the cute animal photos are going to be judged and the 12 cutest will be made into a calendar, the sales of which are to raise funds for our local pets corner.

Obviously having a small boy we love pets corner. Especially their ducks (as that's the baby's favourite (only) word so far! And it's run by volunteers and recently had their funding cut, like a lot of charities, in this current climate. So support this great little place by supporting us!

Please just click on these links to Facebook and "like" our photos so we can win and be in the calendar.

And tell all your friends to 'like' us too!
Pretty please (we like winning)?

Buttons adds: Hey lady, what's in it for me???

Ps I've tried to make the links linky now! But I'm no web wiz so you may have to return to the days of yore and control A, control C, control V!

Can anyone hear us?

Hello? Hello? Yes we're still here, just busy... Busy being lazy. I think this photo captures Buttons showing how he is offended by his diminishing public profile!

So the baby turned one (crikey!) and of course, we had a rabbit shaped cake!
Buttons and Blossom were mighty offended as I didn't give them any...

Right, back to Olympic viewing (shhhh)
