Ok- the promised picture of mollie down the rabbit hole.... sounds like something from Alice in Wonderland.

Good by yellow container

Hello all out in bloggyland!

A bit sad today, as we bid farewell to our "temporary" storage solution of 6 years now, the big yellow container to be replaced by a brand spanking new double garage.

Okay, I know what you are saying- why the sentimentality towards a big yellow shipping container?

Well I guess it's the association I have with it of when we first started out in the motel business. Like so many things at the time, we had competing priorities, and had to make do with so many "temporary" fixes until we could get everything up and running properly. I liken my wistful gaze as it ascended to the back of the truck on it's way out of the property, to one of a parent saying goodbye to a child leaving home- that feeling that one has moved on, and whilst those temporary fixes served their purpose, they were no longer needed as our business has grown, and moved from strength to strength. That old shipping container was part of the development of our business in a kooky storage kind of way, and so today I waved it good bye to where it was needed next.

What followed next was like a scene from watership down, with a massive rabbit warren being revealed underneath the storage container. Not only had it been home to our rollaway beds, and spare bits of timber, but also to a colony of rabbits, who it would appear, had been busy adding on a rumpus room to the existing warren before us.

Mollie of course was in rabbit hunting heavan, and finally could come nose to nose with the furry critters. But as usual, mollie was a bit slow on the uptake, and spent most of her time simply pushing her nose as far down the holes as it would go. I do have a photo of this scene, but I can't get the photo to load up just yeat- so stay tuned, will try again later.

More later...
