Bunny oul’ weather

I WENT out to feed the hens the other day and was confronted by two rabbits.

They hunkered down and stared at me, wide-eyed, before losing their nerve and bounding off. They looked a bit bedraggled.

On the face of it this was an unremarkable encounter for anyone living the country. What gave it some significance is that I’ve owned this little plot of land for over thirty years and this is the first time I’ve seen rabbits on it. I think it has something to do with the weather.
