Moved house this week. The buns are not keen on the new place and so far refuse to emerge fully into their new lives.

'Everyone Sang', Siegfried Sassoon
'the song was wordless, the singing will never be done'
This poem has broken my heart every time I've ever read it. Such a waste of life.

Bad news in bunland.

Sometimes these last days. Sometimes weeks.
Tune in for news as it breaks.
