Bye Rosie!

For a minute there I thought I was lost when I saw the London Underground sign!

Bye Rosie! I'm off to my new family - now where have Moby and Monkey got to with that luggage?

A last look around



That's a nice house down by the river. I wonder who lives there. That's the sort of place a noble wabbit could feel at home.







Do you suppose Rosie would notice if I went off on a wander up there?




Hiding from Rosie again.

Would you believe it? Another Hall I was going to visit and this one is closed as well! They won't even allow us up the driveway. This is Houghton Towers where James I knighted a loin of beef. Personally I would have just got on with eating it but some of those royals were a funny bunch.

According to locals he'd been invited round for a spot of dinner by Sir Bernard de Houghton and it was such a scrumptious meal that the king asked what the meat was called and the cook said it was a loin of beef. "From this time henceforth" said King Jim, "it shall be known as Sir Loin of Beef on account of it being delicious." Sounds a bit like Laird Dillon of MDCC only I'm not on the dinner menu!!!

Time to travel on

These girls are going to miss me so much when I leave here. Last night they gave me and Moby and Monkey a going away party. Look at the posters they drew for me.

They also gave me lots of presents to take with me to my new foster family. If the chocolate doesn't make it blame Monkey!



This morning Monkey and Moby helped me to pack all those goodies. I think Monkey was trying to climb into the box looking for the chocolate but I'd hidden it somewhere else.

Are those flowers for me?


We visited a friend of Rosie's on the way home and he gave me a bunch of flowers. She seems like a nice lady.

A Mongolian Feast

A wabbit likes the sound of that word 'feast'. I think these Mongolian people understand just how to feed a noble visitor! Ger-Hana. Now what does that mean I wonder? It says here that centuries ago in Mongolia the mighty Khan's hunting parties and warriors would prepare slivers of meat cut with their swords and cook them with vegetables, spices, sauces and incense on their overturned shields over a blazing fire.

I hope they don't expect us to have brought our own swords and shields!

Now lets have a look, what have they got on the menu? Oh we just choose what we want and the nice man in the kitchen cooks it for us. I don't think he's got any swords and shields in there either. I think secretly he's using a wok. The best part of this is you can keep eating as much as you can for as long as you like and keep choosing different stuff. I definitely like the sound of that!

The wine list looks interesting.

I'm spoilt for choice with drinks here.

I think I'll take home a take-away menu just in case I feel a bit peckish later on this evening.

Up, up and away!

Avast there me hearties! Man the lifeboats! Splice the mainbrace! I see no ships!

Now how is a wabbit supposed to get across there?

Here we go!

Uhoh, it's a long way down all the way down there!

Ahoy there landlubbers!

Swings and roundabouts

Having a swinging time.

Here's a nice rabbit sized slide.

I was getting a bit dizzy on here.

That's definitely too far up for a wabbit to come down.

I'm not sure if I was seeing or sawing or coming or going on here.

yeeha!

Let's be cowboys!

I think my hat's too big.

Everybody wants to be a wabbit

Even the little creatures on this roundabout are wearing bunny ears!

Down by the riverside

I am not going across there! I'll get my paws wet!

That's more like it. A nice wabbit sized bridge. The people round here have obviously given some consideration to the possibility of visits from noble wabbits and done something to cater for our needs and requirements. All it needs is a bit of a think about and everywhere could be made just as wabbit friendly.



Come on Rosie! Hop to it! We've got places to explore. Get a move on. There's not much water in this river is there? Have they been having a drought round hereabouts?

Now where do you suppose he's going?



Look at him! I wondered why he was climbing up the front of that building. Do you suppose he'd lost his key and couldn't get in through the front door?

You wouldn't catch a wabbit of my calibre trying something like that. He hasn't even got a safety net.

Could be a bit fishy.






Would you look at that! He's got a friend waiting up at the top for him. Maybe they're cat burglars. Somebody should call the police. They look a dodgy couple of customers if you ask me.

Rosie said they were ab sailing. Don't be silly Rosie, you need a boat to go sailing.

Somebody could clean up in this town!


Just look at the size of that brush and shovel.


Maybe they have giants who come round and sweep the streets for them at night when we've all gone home to bed!

Strange creature


I came across this very colourful cow in Manchester but she was a strange creature and didn't have much to say for herself.

Spot the wabbit!

Hiding from Rosie and the girls in Manchester's Craft Village.

A visit to China

I had no idea Accyland was so close to China! It only took us an hour to get here!

Come on girls. We didn't walk all the way here. Why are you sitting down? let's explore!

It looks interesting up this way!

Hang on, let's get a closer look at that arch.........

Oh! Chinatown, Manchester - not China! No wonder I thought we got here quick.

a little flower



That's an interesting little flower. I wonder what it's called. I don't think it's a daisy. Daisies have more petals. I wonder if you can eat it?

Gawthorpe Hall - well nearly

Rosie's husband had the morning off work today and being kind to wabbits he said he would take me to visit a nearby hole. I didn't like to tell him that one wabbit hole is much the same as any other.
Ah, he meant hall not hole. This place looked interesting.

Come on folks, this is the way.

Look at that! They don't open until this afternoon and we can't stay because Rosie's husband has to go back to work. You'd think they would be a bit more adaptable to visiting wabbit nobility wouldn't you?

Easter egg hunting



We did a spot of Easter Egg hunting today. I had my own bag to collect my bounty in.

We hunted up and down and high and low and in and out and here and there.

Being a wabbit of great experience and worldwide travel of course I found lots of hidden eggses.

Look I found a bunny shaped egg. Or is that an egg shaped bunny?

Now where the heck did I put that bag?

Easter Bunny

It's been a very chocolate eggy sort of day for wabbits around here but I didn't eat all this lot myself. There was a couple of these eggs that somebody had put the wrong name on so I thought I'd be thoughtful share them with these two nice girls.

a bit of DIY

Rosie wants some more shelves putting up in this cupboard, and I'm just the wabbit to lend a paw to a bit of DIY.

Now where did I put that wood?

Does that look level to you?
