Mish and I have been spending some time out in the garden while I battle the weeds. The hellebores or winter roses have been amazing. There are at least four colours and variations in between. I try not to disturb them so they'll increase in numbers.

Because there was no drought this year many of the plants that flowered poorly last season have been making a huge effort this year. The red camellia bush that just had one lonely flower last spring is making up for lost time.

The grape hyacinths have spread into the unlikeliest of places popping up in the lawn around the oak tree. Lawn mower man carefully avoided these areas so I will mark them and dig up the bulbs so they can safely be replanted in the garden.
Yesterday Ebony rabbit kindled seven small individuals. Last week I'd decided she was not pregnant but just overweight but after discovering her busy plucking herself at 7am I moved her to the breeding cage with a nest box and by the afternoon she had everything done and dusted. Daddy Goblin had the easiest job, just handing celebratory carrots round to all the other bucks in the rabbitry.
