Run Rabbit, Run Rabbit, Run, Run, Run...*

Ooh, I've spent a lovely afternoon in the garden with the bunsters, happily ensconced in their new run , which arrived yesterday. As you can see from the picture on the left, they were a little unsure of what was going on when they suddenly found themselves outside and surrounded by all this green stuff. They soon started sniffing around and then when they realised that - bonus!- the green stuff can be eaten, well, we were well away!

I think they really like the fact that they can properly run on the grass, instead of skidding around cartoon-style on the laminate floors in the house and Radar even did a couple of binkies - that funny jumpy-twisty thing that happy rabbits do. Beany, of course, wouldn't dare let us see she was having fun in such a manner.... Now, all we have to do is overcome the slight problem of their 'aeroplane-overhead phobia' Every time a plane flew over, they would stop what they were doing, heads up listening, then bolt into the carrier as fast as their furry little legs would carry them, where much thumping ensued from within. Just as they'd pluck up the courage to come back out, another bloody plane would come along. This could be something of a problem as we live under the flightpath of Birmingham Airport...

* I know, I know, you're all wondering exactly when in the 80s this was a chart-topper. I've been singing it all afternoon and it seemed too good a title to let go.....
