Soggy Rabbits

12/7/2012

 
Picture
Lois in the morning sunshine
Well this morning dawned bright, blue and sunny. Very suspicious. And sure enough before very long we could see the first wispy mauve clouds floating from the west - like a far off smoke signal from a wayward tribe. We had a lot of really heavy rain last evening and the ditches are still running rapidly this morning. There seemed to be a lot of Peter Rabbit's family playing on the paths and verges - much to Harvey's delight - and on closer inspection we found that their burrows were filled to the top with water.

Peter doesn't seemed too bothered though and was enjoying bounding around in the early sunshine. It may be a problem for him if Mr Fox saunters past however!
We thought we would listen to the weather forecast on Harvest's old radio - and gathered around by the straw bales, hoping for some cheery news.
"Outbreaks of heavy rain are expected to reach southwest England during Thursday morning and extend east across the rest of southern England on Thursday afternoon.
Saturated ground means that there is a continuing risk of flooding".
And on Friday:
"Outbreaks of heavy rain are likely in most areas of England and Wales (except the far north) during Friday.
Saturated ground means that there is a continuing risk of flooding".
And on Saturday:
"Heavy and thundery showers are likely to affect parts of southern Britain on Saturday, some of which could be slow-moving giving spells of more persistent heavy rain.
Saturated ground means that there is a continuing risk of flooding".
Nothing cheery there then! Especially if you are in the south like us. Put on your sou'wester Peter! Sylvia and Gordon xxx

    About Us

    Hello! My name is Gordon and I am a Gold Sebright and my best friend is Sylvia. She is a Silver Sebright. We live with our foster parents on a small farm in the country.  We thought that we would put our take on life and what we get up to through the year into a diary for you. All the characters are real and the events are a true record,  interpreted with a modicum of poetic licence. We hope you enjoy it. Love Gordon and Sylvia
