A postcard from an old friend

I always love hearing from people who have one of my toys – it’s so nice to get feedback, so you can imagine how big my grin was when I received this:

Alfiepostcard

It’s a postcard from little Alfie Bunny who left here in a padded envelope a few weeks ago. I’m always a little sad when the final bit of tape goes on a parcel and one of my little creatures begins their journey to a new home. But Alfie has definitely landed on his feet and clearly could not have gone to a better home. He also sent me this photo and a note saying that although he didn’t catch a fish he didn’t mind too much as he prefered carrots for his supper anyway.

Alfie

What bunny could ask for more – holidays, encouragement to try outdoor pursuits and being well catered for in the culinary department (a much better life than his previous one of sitting in a box under the stairs with his siblings). Parting may well be such sweet sorrow but I take lots of comfort from knowing that Alfie is out there, living life to the full and enjoying every moment with the wonderful Michaela (who by the way makes awesome cakes and has just started her blog – so pop over and say hello!)

  1. It’s so sad when one of your own leaves the nest, travels the world and experiences life to the fullest. Be proud Julie, what more could a mother want for her bunnies?

  5. My comment of Tuesday doesn’t appear to have gone on, sorry. I just wanted to say that it was so thoughtful of Alfie to send a postcard and I love the photo of him fishing. I’m afraid our India Rose and Skye (renamed by Sophie, formerly Anna) just lounge around all day!!
