Its great they have found this common ground as I think Captain Rupert had been suffering from depression since Torquil was born, I never thought it would effect a rabbit so much, but Captain Rupert is a very cuddly rabbit and I completely underestimated the effectJoannahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04358447263600244040noreply@blogger.com20tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19803905.post-71474533580060778422009-07-22T03:25:00.000-07:002009-07-22T03:51:59.064-07:00Thank you for all the lovely comments on my last post....so long ago. And I left you in such suspense what the bumps name is.Well we left it right to the last moment before registering his name, keeping our ideas top secret. It was very scary registering the name....had we made the wrong decision is he going to hate us for it.

Oh dear! I shall be late!'

Inspecting around the daffodils.Luckily for me he rather does not like the taste but prefers juicy bits of grass and cabbages. Mmmm he talked too much to those pesky pigeons and has made the first, two ever raids of the veg patch......I think I have fixed the pigeon problem and his raiding.

The sun is shining and what better time to head out for a drive down country lanes and find a suitable spot for a picnic. I think they might be by a meadow, next to a river, with the reeds gently swaying in the wind and the water racing past. They might dip their hot little paws in too cool of after their game of cricket and Joannahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04358447263600244040noreply@blogger.com24tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19803905.post-26632299613764626022008-10-14T02:07:00.000-07:002008-10-14T04:11:30.363-07:00The Grand Tour of the Building SiteOver the summer we have been very busy with DIY and I thought it was time I should put some pics up. Before it was just holes in the ground and mud. This weekend was a long weekend but a turning point as we got the new roof on the new utility room. There is still a huge way to go but progress is being made slowly.

I have even had to resort to using the Dial up to run a few Internet type errands. Its been very frustrating with trying to speak to the broadband people and going round in circles and time consuming.

What fun and games he told me about as he shared his holiday snaps.Sorry for another brief interlude, K has been sailing again, (that's it for a while). We drove off to north Germany for a windy week on a lovely sandy beach. It was a long and tiring drive towing a boat.

Its a tiny house and storage space is very important. First we built shelves to house all our books, (well some of). We boarded the attic, and build a huge wardrobe.
