Still got my Little Grey Rabbit book, though not sure of the title offhand. In all seriousness, I think the beautiful illustrations and a vague sense of doom in the book may be a deep seated reason I am interested in small animals/birds, wanting to protect them.

Seriously BYM, you should collect all these stories and/or send them into the stand-up of your choice and hear them relayed to the rest of us.

They were some of the first, if not the first, people to breed them seriously over here for quite a while so the stock ...

I used to, somebody down in Sussex, possibly near the Surrey border, can't quite remember exactly where, or their name, I will have to have a proper think and see if it comes back into my memory! Anyway, they bred champion birds at the Natl or Fed maybe 6 or 7 years ago. Could the breed club help do...
