Yep, not "Rabbits, Rabbits, Rabbits"; it's not the first of the month.
But "rabbit", a single, solitary little bunny that provided a lovely start to the day this morning.
We live on a nice cul-de-sac. One of my work mates says by the way......"Posh people say they live on a cul-de-sac. I live on a 'dead-end road!'".
Anyway, we have two big lawned areas with trees on our road. Back in 2004 I once saw a bunny on the "East Lawn". About 70 yards from our front door there used to be access to open fields. Access was closed off in '09 as they had gained planning permission. But on this day in '04 (very shortened version of events), bunny bolted towards the field. Bremby Bo was released. Bunny went under the gate into the field. Bremby went over it and by the time I arrived in the field she had caught bugs.
Anyway, this morning........I'd nodded off on the sofa last night. Woke up at 4.00. Crept past the dog so as not to wake her up and try and have an hour in bed......No chance.......woof, woof, woof........better take her out. Just over the last week or so she's moving much easier and we're often walking up to the top of the street, which she hadn't been doing for the best part of two years. So we walked up to the "West Lawn". After a couple of minutes up there I noticed a sharp, fleeting movement. Couldn't quite believe it, really, as it's more built up there and leads onto much more heavily built territory. T'was a bunny, about two thirds grown, getting a right old shift on in silence and looking most graceful.
Now, I've seen gazillions of rabbits in my time, but this was an unexpected "bonus" sighting and provided a lovely start to the day.
