We’ve got a new visitor! Well, actually we’ve got two new visitors but one of them is human: C, J’s son, who has come to play for the day and the transition from 2 little boys in the house to 3 has increased the noise level by about 400%. Still, they’re having fun so it’s all good. They’re currently playing the biggest game of hide and seek in history - spanning all the fields surrounding the house. J mentioned that he’s been dropping hints about a little brother. My own personal theory is that one day with #2 will cure that completely, and he’ll go home happy again with his one-ness.

No, the real new visitor is a huge and rather beautiful hare, which has been hanging around for a good couple of days now. It took Hubby to be here with his super-complicated camera to get some decent pictures of it though. I must say it’s an absolute stunner and did, actually, at one point, seem to be posing for the camera, showing Hubby first one side, then the other! Whether it’s a he or a she is another matter. I’m not much of an expert on that kind of thing. You’d think they’d wear a pink bow or a bow tie to give you a clue, but no. It seems to be a singleton, which is a disappointment - no cute spring babies to look forward to.

This has prompted a whole load of Wallis and Gromit-esque hare jokes: ‘pardon? I’m sorry, I can’t hare you’….’the buck stops here’…’guess he stays fit by doing ‘hareobics” etc. Mind you, it looks like it might not be long before we have another foster greyhound, so that’ll put paid to his fun and games and he’ll soon be packing his furry suitcase…a case of hare today, gone tomorrow you might say …
