What's Up Doc?

There's a rabbit in the garden, that's not a good thing when it's walled and grows vegetables, of course it must think it's wandered into Eden as we only work there two days per week and for the rest of the time he may do as he will! Anyway war has now been declared and the first hour of Monday morning saw us beating through the borders to flush him out for Derek's gun waiting on the lawn. Three times we spooked him and three times he got away, finally taking refuge in the massive yew hedge where no one will find him. So it remains at stalemate for the moment, rabbit 1, garden 0, I'm secretly rather pleased as I'm rather fond of the beasts, but watch this space! Excitement over for the day we set to work mulching the main border with home made compost, shovelling muck for six hours in the sleet, having lasted through that I'm now sure I can stay the distance!
