When Little Bunny and Big Bunny went hopping around Nottingham

Hopping around Nottingham

Carrot hunting!

Little Bunny and Big Bunny are getting quite brave. It must be the sunshine. One day when I had to pop into Nottingham, they insisted on hopping along with me. They wanted to hunt for carrots.

There were no carrots at Nottingham Contemporary.

There might have been carrots at Paul Smith, but as it was early, they were not yet open.

No carrots in the Nottingham Floral Trail. Disappointed bunnies!

Some new friends

They met a stern, but friendly lion…

… and made friends with a bear.

No carrots to be seen in the streets of Nottingham. Never mind, it was quite exciting hopping around and there weren’t too many people around.

Now, Little Bunny and Big Bunny would like to know what your bunnies are getting up to this summer. And if you haven’t got a bunny yet, they’d like you to make one (bunny making instructions). Then, they’d like you to take photos of your bunnies and post pictures on the Being Knitterly Facebook page or tweet pictures to @BeingKnitterly with the hashtag #happyhopping. Little Bunny and Big Bunny are hopping about with excitement about seeing where your bunnies go carrot hunting.
