I am very excited. We are finally getting our angoras today.

Kev is currently driving down to Lancaster (7 hours from us) to meet up with a lady who is driving up from Aldershot for a show, picking up 7 rabbits and driving home again!

We are getting 5 does and 2 bucks and breeding for the wool (although I have said if any go bald we can eat them! Very Happy )

We bought a cheap caravan and kitted it out with wire floor hutches until the portacabin is sorted out.

Did I mention I was excited!!!

Thanks George.

It has taken about 8 months to get to this stage, so I am really looking forward to seeing the furry faces, although it will be about 2am when Kev gets home. (aah!)

Alas, I didn't manage to stay awake, but Kev did get me up to help get the rabbits settled. I will get some photos taken later today and get them posted tonight.

They are lovely though.
