Yours is great - it's so active and just as a hare should be. Mine were either flat on the ground with their ears back (hiding) or a fuzzy blare that could be anything.Scriptor Senexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17795521284516432520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609118120551505936.post-27014939455094715532013-06-25T09:40:57.142+02:002013-06-25T09:40:57.142+02:00Sounds delicios, Graham!

He seems lonely, don't think he's allowed to hang out with the little bunnies much ;)DawnTreaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04533307672147117843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609118120551505936.post-12821202106847358102013-06-24T23:39:33.419+02:002013-06-24T23:39:33.419+02:00I generally eat strawberries just as they are but ...I generally eat strawberries just as they are but I think my favourite way is what I know as Eaton Mess: strawberries with cream and crushed meringue.<br /><br />I'm rather envious of your hare photo.

Traditionally we often eat strawberries with sugar and cream, or icecream, too - and my mum always used to bake strawberry cream cake for midsummer (sponge cake with strawberry filling, covered with whipped cream and strawberries). Just now I'm on a diet trying to lose a bit of weight though... So this summer so far I've mostly eaten my strawberries au naturel. No problem - usually they are sweet enough in themselves.DawnTreaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04533307672147117843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609118120551505936.post-24761830106637602462013-06-24T09:15:19.164+02:002013-06-24T09:15:19.164+02:00My appetite isn't what it was but your strawbe...My appetite isn't what it was but your strawberries look really tempting. GB and I had an honorary uncle who used to mash them up with cream and sugar and eat them like that but I like to dip them in a bowl of cream and then - if need be but hopefully not - a quick twirl in some sugar.

I suppose they had young ones nearby. Takes them a while to learn to fly. Soon they'll probably be out strolling about though - looking rather silly, but don't tell their parents I said that!DawnTreaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04533307672147117843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609118120551505936.post-44255301831844179922013-06-23T12:51:12.996+02:002013-06-23T12:51:12.996+02:00Oh I enjoyed these photos.
