...yes, M. managed to be up early enough to "shoot" this rabbit in the early dawn light...next time it will be the rifle!

Jen took this great shot last weekend.

Burtonfield in Bloom

Just to show that we can do tasteless planting with the best of them...here is our "bit of fun" for this year with a complete mashup of annuals in the roundabout...

...not quite the same as our much more restrained and styled "hosta walk" (work in progress...its only half a walk at the moment!)....

Burtonfield in 3D

Having discussed the Google Sketchup program at work, I decided I'd have a go at putting together a model of Burtonfield.... MK I can be seen here:

There is a link on this page to open the model in Google Earth.

Not many doors or windows at the moment, since I need to take some photos of the house to use as textures, but its a start!
