I wanted to introduce you all to our new little friend : "Billy" the Kitty.

 He does not live with us, but we get to visit and have a play when we go to My Yollie's,  Nonna and Nonno's house (this is Grandma and Grandpa in Italian).





He is soooo cute. But he is a guts!!  He never knows when to stop eating.





He would just eat all day if you let him!










 You should see the big tummy on the little boy!  We keep him moving when we visit!  Billy gets grumpy easily when he can't keep up with us, he goes off in a huff.  This only makes us think he is even cuter!!





What do you think?  Is he a cutie pie?



 Now, onto "Jungle June part 6".  Today I have the photos of the "Bali Orchid Park" My Yollie said this was not a place she planned on visiting but was very glad that their Driver, Made took them there.  She had never seen so many beautiful flowers in one place before.  My Yollie was also very surprised that some of the Orchids even had a beautiful fragrance.



 The guide said this one below was a cross  between a Pineapple and a Banana!  MMMMmmmmmm Bananas - Yuuuuuuummmmmmyyyy - wonder what the plant "tastes" like to a bunny?



 My Yollie said there were lots and lots of these little guys roaming around the park.





 The plant below is actually an "air" plant. My Yollie has one inside, but she had never seen one so big and with such a beautiful bloom.
 This one below is teeny tiny. It is not a real pineapple but a pineapple flower, pretty isn't it.




 I think this one looks like an Angel - Just like my Daddy-bun ={;o3
 See the Angel in the flower?  I can.
 Ooooh, this little guy is called a Civet, they have a very nasty bite!  see it's toothy peg??
 Guess what the Balinese discovered with these animals??  If you feed them coffee beans, they will pass them through their system and poop them out!  Well not rocket science there .... but .... now here's the interesting and kinda gross to humans bit(I don't get all the fuss as bunnies understand the idea perfectly),
see My Yollies bemused and shocked expression?

  ....  where was I?  That's right.  This little guy poops out coffee beans, then the people collect them, put them through a purification process and then guess what they do?......
 Yep, use them to make coffee!  It is one of the most expensive in the world and its called "Katpoo Kopi" .  Apparently, by being first digested by the Civet it takes the bitterness out of the bean so it is one of the most pleasant and palatable coffee experiences, sounds good doesn't it?
My Yollie however could not get past the thought of where it had been to be game enough to try it.  So if anyone out there has tried it, please feel free to let us know what it was like!!!  Don't be shy - we wont judge!
 Honestly, we won't - we get it!

 Here is a ginger flower.

 And lastly a red trunk palm - very pretty hey! I bet tasty too!!



Well that's it for us. Catch you soon!  Sweetie xoxoxo

Presenting - The Kingdom of Fairy Castle Farm's EAST WING! Ta Da!

Howdy every-bunny (and the non-bunny's) It's Sweetie,    through here - on the other side of the tunnel:  Hello...  
Welcome to all our new guests and followers and thanks for all the wonderful comments!!  A very special mention to Dan and Sam at   http://www.fortheloveofparsley.co.uk/
for making us "blog of the moment"  We feel honoured and My Yollie was so touched by the gesture she actually "binkied" (that's a twist, hop and a sprint all together for non-bun owners). Thanks again guys, and we are glad to hear Rocka is on the mend!

These are this weeks   visitors - and it's only Wednesday - Golly Gosh!! we are at 901 visitors (all time) I think we are going to crack the 1000's by the weekend!!!

Remember - 
"Don't be shy to say HI!!!"

So as promised, here are the pics of our bun-derful, fabulous and grand - East Wing!!

I know, I know, I hear you say : it "looks" like a Garden Shed - but really it's a" Grand Palace" to us residents!!!!

Next few pics are of our little man Patches - After his illness - see he is looking like his old self again!
Relaxed and rested,
 Curious and ...
 Nosy!  hee, hee - teasing my brother NEVER gets old!
 Back to our new place. Did I tell you we have not stopped thanking our humans, especially My Yollie - See what daddy has been up to ...


This is what it looked like before - and this is the place it was moved from (just behind the umbrella compost-er)




do you see Holly-dog below?  she is NOT IMPRESSED!  this wing has made it harder for her to get near us - she HATES it, which is all the more reason for us to LOVE it!
Below you can see our Castle from the front, this section is where the Chooks roost and lay their eggs for the humans.

The purple tractor tyre is where we are going to have an apple tree growing and yummy herbs to nibble on - we just have to keep the pesky chooks from eating everything. I think My Yollie may have a plan, you will just have to wait and see.

 Here we have my daddy-bun, Angel preparing to take you on a tour of the place...um palace grounds I mean:


 In the picture above Angel is wondering what you think?

 This blogging stuff is hard work, don't mind me - I'm just stopping to have a quick snack of my meadow hay, nom, nom, nom....

 That's better. Now, where was I? Oh, yes the extension...

 So here it is once again. This has been taken from the other side of our Kingdom -or  "Danger-Land" as we residents like to call it!!

Take  care every- bun and I will resume Jungle June Holiday pics next time!  Bye for now, Sweetie xoxoxo
