Valonia and Rob

Setting the scene:

On a little piece of land in the Vale of White Horse, Oxfordshire, two garden novices are overrun by rabbits on an allotment plot they named A Whole Plotta Love.

Meanwhile, at home on the banks of the Thames, they potter about on a tiny segment of ground known colloquially as The Boater’s Garden. It floods a lot.

Somebody has developed itchy feet and the longing to go on adventures. We've found him up the road and led him home twice over the last two days. The first time his entire family followed and the lane was full of cygnets, but the cygnets had grown bored of walking so sat blocking the road instead. We reckon he senses that it's Swan Upping week and is looking for somewhere to hide!
A moorhen from the first brood now assisting the feeding of a chick from the second brood. The parent moorhens failed to raise any chicks last year so it's been a pleasure to see them do so well. And we have front row seats as they nest outside our window. Boat life, eh?
I've a little helper in the garden today.
We now have an allotment pond and bog garden! Thanks, @steven.j.charlton and @nobbyc66 🐸
The fences are getting higher, the netting has come out in all its green glory... And still there's evidence of a certain little (actually he's quite big) bunny getting into the plot. There's no tunnels, there's no sign of nibbled fencing, but every day we find him hopping causually as you like across our plot, and every day we shoo him out the gate. There's only one other possible explanation for him getting in: he's hitching a ride on the back of a red kite and parachuting in. We're going to have to build a protective dome. #allotment #rabbits
I found a rabbit on the allotment and spent an hour chasing it around before calling for backup. Rob arrived, calmly built a corall, coaxed the rabbit out from behind the shed, and sent it on its merry way. He made it look easy, and he's rewarded himself by drinking the beer for the beer traps!
