    Tame young  foxes the size of small cats a couple of foot away looking me straight in the eye. It's really hard not to feed them.

    Has anyone seen any rain yet? The Met Office says it's raining here at the moment but my looking out of the window technology disagrees.

    We had alot of that yesterday @wild edges before some was finally delivered - but nowhere near asmuch as they'd promised on the forecast.

    Rain last night and again now,  OH has just been standing out in it,  it’s very warm out and it evaporated on him straight away. 
    @wild edges. It should be coming up to you shortly.

    When we went through our back gate into the farmer's field behind us yesterday, a brown hare was loping slowly straight towards us. OH made a warning noise and it stopped and froze, perhaps 20 feet away, and the dogs also froze. Then it decided to run and the dogs went ballistic. Even were I quick enough to get the camera out, holding a lead on a greyhound when there's a hare running in full view is definitely a two hand job, so no pic to share. It was lovely though - never seen one so close. It was fully grown and looked healthy  :) Fabulous creatures. In a most literal sense  B)

    Sorry - not very curmudgeonly. Forgot where I was

    Just a few ideas there if you need them :#

    We had better get out enjoyment from them before they are banned for traumatising the wokey snowflake brigade.

    We looked at each other for a minute or two. I said that it looked as if it was having a nice time and the weather was lovely, wasn’t it?  It mooched around a bit and then slowly hopped off through the fence into next door’s garden.

    Easily @pansyface . If you would like a rabbit stew or pie, I wouldn't hesitate - but only if they were starting to damage the garden. 

    Rabbits proliferate at a rapid (rabbit?) rate.
