4 more working days to go
If you are off on your Baltic cruise this weekend do wrap up well. We go at the end of June but I am already monitoring the weather for our ports and its still pretty chilly in most places, only Tallin and St Petersburg are above 10 deg C today. I do hope it improves for you.

Apparently, it was a PR thing back in the seventeenth or eighteenth century. The Danes wanted to encourage migration to Greenland rather than Iceland so they named them accordingly

How far down in the ground do you have to bury the fence, and is it enough?

Perhaps they're Ninja rabbits and are scaling the fence instead.

Have you thought about setting up one of these

To make matters worse, we have a break-in on Monday night when quite a few sheds were relieved of their contents. Fortunately ours is fairly secure and escaped the robbers' attention - or maybe the attack rabbit chased them off ?
