Laramie: the travels of a well-educated bunny.

Just recently I received an email from Julie inviting me to purchase one of her fabulous Little Cotton Rabbits. In fact I had been drawn out of the Bunny Raffle Hat to give Laramie a whole new adventure. I can't describe how excited I was.

Within days Smiley Carol's replacement had delivered a box. A box that was the perfect fit for a Little Cotton Rabbit. Especially a Little Cotton Rabbit that was wearing green tights and pale green shoes. A Little Cotton Rabbit that was wearing green tights, pale green shoes and a cream dress with green fennel heads dancing across it. *sigh*

"Doubtless God could have made better berry than a strawberry, but doubtless never did." quoth she. "William Allen Butler, don't you know?" Julie was obviously aware of Laramie's tatstes as this ENORMOUS strawberry accompanied her in case there was a hold up due to a pre-Christmas rush in the Royal Mail.

"To be overcome by the fragrance of flowers is a delectable form of defeat."

And in that 'defeated' mode Laramie and I went and joined Maria for a cup of tea while enjoying views of the gorgeous English countryside.

Oh Laramie, I am so pleased you have come to live here at Trash Towers up here on The Hill.
