Over the last few dyas I've felt really happy. not that I'm ever not for very long, but I've just felt especially good since Saturday.

On Saturday Ben and I went for a lovely walk around our 'village' - it's really a suburb of Southampton, but it's known as a village, and it really does have quite a villagey feel to it. We ended up walking down the shopping parade, and decided to pop into the pet shop - I can never pass one without going in! They had some waonderful animals in there... which got Ben and me thinking... and after a lot of talking/research, we've decided to increase our little family! Nope, we're not trying for a baby, we're adopting a baby.... rabbit! I've been emailing a breeder of mini lop rabbits, and she's sending me photos today of the male babies today (apparently they make better pets). She sent me a photo of one of their sisters yesterday....



Isn't she beautiful? We've looked at the money situation, and we can afford everything a bunny would need, and we're both really keen on it. I'm so excited... Sammie's going to be an older sister!!
