The city of Ripon was in festive mood on Monday morning, despite the snowy conditions over the weekend everyone had been hard at work decorating the streets with Union Jack bunting for the Queen's 60 year ascension day, they were also ringing the cathedral bells every hour to celebrate. They weren't the only ones having a party as we discovered when we arrived at NC, it soon became apparent that our little Bugs has invited an awful lot of his friends to join him, there were rabbit tracks all over the garden, far too many for a single bun. The little devils had been having a smashing time nibbling the unguarded apple trees, it was a good job the sweet williams have a fence around them as they've worn a track right around the outside trying to get in. I feel something more forceful will be needed to sort this problem out now. We went back into the woods for the whole day again, logging, chopping, sawing and feeding the the same bonfire that we'd started on Saturday, it was still alight! All in all a fairly exhausting day but working in the sunshine and snow was fun, however I don't think I've ever been so dirty, it was a wonder they let me on the bus to go home!
