The Kowhai Tree with a Tui on a Branch


This photo was taken recently and there is a tui on a branch at the top right of photo. A tui has been visiting this tree almost daily to feed on the nectar of the kowhai flowers. It is quite vocal when it is in the tree.


This photo was taken two days ago of a tui in the tree. This photo is a bit closer and the tui is in the middle of the tree.

The White Family Move to a New Home


Mr and Mrs White, baby Gwen and Mrs White’s sister, Pink Nose have been living in the Pink Boot. Over the years the Pink Boot home has started leaking and it cannot be patched up because the plastic has been weakened by the sun and rain.
 

Mr White is hopping to Mr Knows home to speak to him about new accommodation that he and his family can  live in.
 

Mr Know invites Mr White to sit down with him and discuss the housing situation in K. C. Bunnyborough.
 


 

Mr Know acknowledges that the Pink Boot home is not suitable to live in anymore and offers him and his family accommodation in a house that has recently been moved to K. C. Bunnyborough. Would he and family like to have the lower level of a house?  Terry Tan is going to live in one of the upper rooms. Mr White is delighted with the offer and accepts. Mr Know tells him he and his family can move in as soon as they want to.



On the way home to the Pink Boot home Mr White collects Strawberry, the pony and attaches the trap so the family can load it up with their furniture and move today.
 

Mrs White, Pink Nose and Gwen can hardly believe it when Mr White arrives home with Strawberry and the jig all ready to load the furniture to move right now! The first item they load on the trap is Mr White’s precious piano.


 




They all help to load all their furniture onto the trap and start hopping to the new house. None of the other rabbits at K. C. Bunnyborough know that they are moving house today. It is happening so quickly.


 

The family arrive at the address Mr White was given by Mr Know and they all go in the house to have a look inside before they unload their furniture.
 

The White family hear noises outside and Len and Larry Lemon and Richard Grayson have arrived to help them unload their furniture. Mr Know had sent word to them about the move to the house and they all were keen to go and help the white family unload their furniture.




The furniture has been unloaded except the piano which Mr White helps  supervise the unloading and carrying of the piano into the house.
 

Strawberry is taken back to her paddock and the piano is carefully carried into the house.






Mr White gives directions of  where he wants the piano put. Mrs White and Pink Nose are arranging the furniture in the house.

 

Mr White plays some tunes on the piano to check that it still goes. He doesn’t need to retune the piano but he can’t find his music book. Mrs White has looked around the room and has quite a few ideas of how she wants to decorate the inside of the house. She loves the bigger space this room has compared to the Pink Boot home.
