Snowdrops, an early expedition

Pickle went with a puppy on his walk among the snow drops this morning. ‘If you touch your nose on the tips of the leaves they are pointy and stiff, this is so they can push through the hard frosted ground’.

Spring accessories

Snowdrops, early daffodils, lambs…….. something is in the air. Could Spring be just around the corner? Barley has been testing our new Bunny Bag in lovely sky blue with zip close and adjustable strap.

Christmas mice

Just around now thoughts at Round Top Hill turn to decorations. This year Barley has been the inspiration for our jolly mice, he even helped at the photo shoot. For decorations like this and more why not have a peek at out shop?

One of our mice had a birthday today.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PICKLE At long last the day he had been waiting for arrived. Pickle woke early, just as the sun was beginning to peep up from behind Round Top Hill. After the birthday breakfast with his friends it was time to open the presents. “What did you get Pickle?” Barley and Fred leant forward…
