Note, I already had my camera out when I realised his behaviour was erractic. I took the shot knowing he was suffering from myxo, because it seemed wrong to look away. If I was a hunter I'd have stepped in and snapped his neck, but as it it he probably has less than 48 hours to live.
I never heard of this disease. How do you know about it? is it a "thing" there?

To prove that the sun shone occasionally, a view on the flat walk home.
In the larger original, you can see the houses at the top of the hill. As I'd taken a circular route, I'd probably passed their fronts earlier.

Photos from the park today.
The sunshine is on and off, but I get out to enjoy it while it's there.
The flower beds are coming into their own now.

And the market.
Teeny tiny today, probably because of the Bank Holiday yesterday.

Is this rhubarb?
It's planted on the edge of the market. Obviously for decorative purposes.

The traditional and the not so traditional, this specialist pet food stall is often here. I prefer the pet shop, as they know me in there.

This is where the Yankee Doodle Dawdle finishes with a buffet.
Yes, it is a pub. But I go into supermarkets every other day where they sell alcohol far cheaper. I doubt I'll succumb, although I'll make sure I only take enough for a soft drink just in case.

Some greengrocers/ market stalls know how to spell and don't mangle apostrophes. Promise.

Sparrowgrass in season. I can't justify it, but it has made me crave it.

They don't have the range of eggs the specialist stall on Saturday has, but many people still buy this way.

Clothes:

I do love me some scarves, especially up here where the weather is so changeable.

I took this pic for my Mum, as it's the kind of top she likes.
I wouldn't turn my nose up at it either, so I included it here.

Thanks hon. It did end up being a good day. It started off decidedly dicey (mood-wise) so I did the right thing in getting out, especially as it ended up on a tramp around the other villages.

It is indeed a "thing" here.
Not so much as when I was younger, when the sad sight was more prevalent, but it's still common enough to look out for if a rabbit doesn't immediately run away.
Wiki will give you more detail on the history and all but the precis is it may have occurred naturally but it was "improved" and released by man to control rabbit populations in many countries. It's horrible.

Myx was an issue here on Arran and almost wiped out the local rabbit population altogether. I think it's why hares are so prevalent here. There are areas on the island now where rabbits are preponderant. Interestingly this year is the first that I've seen rabbits in the field behind the house, as well as the hares ...

In that case doubly well done for getting out from under, literally!

I saw a rabbit with Myxomatosis a couple of years ago. Me and Carrot (youngster at the time) followed it at a distance as it sniffed its way laboriously along the lane until it found a break in the wall and could go into the field.

It is my considered opinion that rhubarb is only bloodshot celery.

Thanks for the travelogue, Sundae. Well observed and illustrated as always.

Pretty sure it's rhubarb. Probably escaped from captivity in the forcing sheds near Wakefield.
