Happy new year x

Blossom RIP

I hate writing sad posts... and I feel I must be one of the unluckiest bunny mums in the world right now.  Three of my fluffy friends have passed away since we started this blog.  Blossom died very suddenly a couple of weeks back. It's taken me a while to know what to say, we were so shocked.

I went out as normal to feed Buttons and Blossom one morning and she had gone, passed on sometime in the night. We have no idea what happened, but feel ever so slightly relieved that whatever happened happened quickly.  She had been happy and hungry and normal the night before.

I guess it is one of the trials of having rescue buns... we didn't know Blossom's age or history.  Though she hasn't been ill once while living with us.  And after a very nervous bunny who had obviously had little human interaction when she came to us, we were just starting to get really close to her.

Gutted.  Rest in peace little Blossom.

Buttons is fine though. Really fine considering.

Love this action shot as Blossom dives inside towards the breakfast bowl!

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

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 got a little too friendly with my toes...

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!

We're making the place pretty, cos we're having a visitor soon!  Stay tuned folks :)

A clue xxx

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!

Peekaboo!

Happy hay nomming

Down the rabbit hole...

We are NOT coming out til Spring, or treats are forthcoming!
