Arnie and Sylvester my two beautiful woodland bunnies have had to come down into the house today. They were covered in mud after digging in their mud piles the last few days. Arnie was a good boy but Sly decided to scratch the living daylights out of me as I put them in their carryContinue reading “Down the rabbit hole”

The penguin always faces South
I didn’t get much sleep last night. I was awoken by the sound of a lot of banging noises during the middle of the night. I never found out what it was as the noise just disappeared. It sounded like it was coming from downstairs, but it is completely empty down there now. Everything hasContinue reading “The penguin always faces South”

Attack of the Sludge
The last two days a restoration company have been inside my sludge covered pit. All the damaged goods have been removed and the area thoroughly cleaned. There now stands several industrial dryers on the ground floor. Hopefully this will start drying up the place. I’m sure this building has seen worse in her 300 years.Continue reading “Attack of the Sludge”
So it begins
The electrician came and managed to install two power sockets that we could run extension leads from. He also managed to get the lights back on. As he went upstairs to check the boiler, my cat Cagney decided to drop a dead bird at his feet. Thanks Cagney. I apologised profusely but he just thoughtContinue reading “So it begins”
What a difference a day makes
We’d had no sleep. I was so worried about my cat and what I would find at home. My brother in law dropped us back off home on his way to work. I was dreading opening that front door. The street was quiet and all the flood gates were still up. The water had almostContinue reading “What a difference a day makes”
Hold Back The River
Well Wednesday seemed to start like any other Wednesday, it was raining which isn’t unusual in the U.K. Just before 6pm I was upstairs on my laptop doing some work and Mally was in the spare room on his Xbox. I received a phone call from my neighbour telling me to go outside as theContinue reading “Hold Back The River”
Golden Girls
It’s a much nicer day today. Still chilly but milder and no rain so far. The better weather has allowed me to spend more time with my Golden Girls today. The Golden girls are my hens BoBo and Charlie. They live separately to my other hens as Bobo has a leg disability and Charlie justContinue reading “Golden Girls”
Bruce came back
Bruce finally came home yesterday. I found him in one of the little wooden coop boxes I have in the bunny run. He was dead. I Couldn’t see any injuries on him and he was still floppy. A few hours earlier I had pushed my endoscope camera back down into the Warren just to checkContinue reading “Bruce came back”
It’s raining, it’s pouring the vet is definitely not snoring.
The weather forecast isn’t good tonight. Looks like snow from the early hours. Although I love snow, getting to work, shopping and other essential tasks are a nightmare! The rams have big thick coats but I still worry about them, so I’ve just put a load of warm hay in their shelter. They love it.Continue reading “It’s raining, it’s pouring the vet is definitely not snoring.”
