I was at the house today and walking around the orchard clearing the odd brick here and there (it seems there are literally hundreds just under the surface of the earth, I think they were just left there in the 1960's) when I noticed this perfect little glass bottle at the entrance to a rabbit hole. No, I absolutely am not joking, it really was there and it most certainly was not there before. The rabbits must have dug it up and flicked it out. I thought it was sweet, then it got me thinking...
The very first project for the house. A tiny little ornament, perhaps for a printers drawer display.
"this time she found a little bottle on it, ("which certainly was not here before," said Alice), and tied round the neck of the bottle was a paper label, with the words "DRINK ME" beautifully printed on it in large letters."
- from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, by Lewis Carroll
