Special Deliveries

This morning R was weeding by the front door. He discovered a clump of boxwood branches had been bitten right off leaving a gaping hole the size of a dinner plate. There, tucked inside was a nest of new baby bunnies.
Then, on my way to work I checked the mailbox. More bundles of joy and they're almost the same colour as the bunnies! It's been a rainy sort of day...a grey day all around.

  2. Fantastic that your books arrived - surface mail obviously no slower than air mail! I haven't read The Shuttle but love the other two.

  3. Book Psmith, I have to say that they are a bit cuter with more fur, poor little naked things.

    verity, Elaine from Random Jottings sent me a Persephone she found cheap at a second hand sale and it took three months from when she sent it! I think it came on the back of an albatross:)

  4. How lovely! I didn't recognise them as bunnies either.

    The Shuttle was such a great page-turner.

  5. Paperback Reader, I've heard lots of great reviews about this one, I can't wait to read it! Oh to be so spoiled for choice.

  7. Oh dear, they don't look like bunnies yet, do they? Have you decided which Persephone to read first?

  8. Kristina, Absolutely!

    JoAnn, I'm reading Nightingale Wood at the moment and then perhaps Kristina and I will choose another Persephone title to read together. I'm quite excited to read A London Child of the 1870's though having just been there.

  11. I've never seen such tiny little bunnies. My library has a copy of The Shuttle (very old edition like your Making of a Marchioness), which I read and enjoyed a year or so ago. My Persephones came in the mail this week, too....
