Gazing

With Jayne's Foreverbunny debut only a day away an unexpected parcel arrived at Bunnyopolis. A gazebo, an essential tool for outside events some of which she has booked in December. To make sure it doesn't look like a scene from Carry On Camping the first time it's set up we had a trial run in the garden. It was a good job we did.

The instructions try to be comprehensive but only succeed in describing what can only be taken as dance steps. Hold opposite legs and gently step away from each other, turn to your right and approach the opposite leg, again pull the leg gently away from your partner whilst walking backwards. Be careful of obstacles when doing this manoeuvre such as trees, furniture and sharks. Actually it didn't say sharks but then again it didn't say don't erect it in the sea.

So anybody looking down on Bunnyopolis would have seen two people waltzing the gazebo waltz as the mini 3m x 3m tent slowly erected itself and took shape.

Looks a bit like a wedding tent for unpopular people, just enough for the couple, a vicar and a small dog as a witness. We erected it in almost perfect calm weather, the next time this goes up is in a field on the 2nd of December and you can bet that it will be raining, blowing a gale and freezing cold such are these things. So if you find a small tent passing your bedroom window as you wake on the 2nd give us a wave as we tumble by on the cusp of a hurricane.

We have invested in some extra windbars and importantly weighted leg attachments to save using the tent ropes and to avoid a tripping hazard, apart from that there's not much to blog about a gazebo is there? It's white, it's very tent-ish and its got flaps and plastic windows where you can pretend by walking slowly past them whilst gradually bending your knees on a pretend set of stairs, that it indeed has a basement.

It gets even better to passers by if you repeat the manoeuvre but this time come up the 'stairs' carrying a box.
