A Basket of Bunnies +

Up here in my corner of Scotland the weather is still pretending it should be spring! Although there is a chilly wind and you wouldn't want to sit out there lol.

I had a bag of tulip bulbs that were sprouting (bought many months ago) and cos they were in the porch had started with a dusty mould on them. As they weren't squishy or anything I decided they could do 1) grow or 2) not grow! Now I don't know about you but putting my hands in cold, soggy soil is like dragging chalk across a blackboard and it squeaking....double shudder. But the bulbs needed to be planted before I had my own fungus farm, so with gritted teeth I got my trowel and put my gloves on. These would protect me from claggy soil (another shudder) I thought, but, have you ever tried putting in bulbs with thick, clumsy gloves on....well you can't. So in the end had to gingerly push said bulb into the hole, well they all got planted and then I rushed in to plunge my hands into hot water.....ohh the relief! If the little blighters don't come up I will dig them up and do a dance on them!!

Anyway, on the inside of my little cottage I've taken some pictures of a bunch of bunnies + 1. Who is the + 1 well it's a little monkey.....he's supposed to be a monkey, HH thought it was a bear and s-i-law half glanced up and said a hippo. (but what does he know, as you may remember, he's the one that sits on brand new cushions!) I thought he looked rather sweet so included him in the photo shoot as he would have felt left out and we can't be having pouty faces all day, now can we?

And here is Babs the Ballerina doing a ballet thingy with one leg! She has her admiring audience.

Well must get on, so cheery pip.
