Message from Peter Rabbit

Picture of Stones

Very excited, after we spoke to Peter this morning down at the Book Shelter, he got back in touch to say he loved the idea of the Painted Stone Hunt and that he’d spoken to his cousin the Easter Bunny and wanted to ask us a favour,  so of course we said yes!   

Apparently the Easter Bunny thinks he is going to have a few small eggs left over from the Easter Egg Hunts around the world and has asked Peter and friends if they would be willing to accept them.  Peter’s had a chat with his mates and they’ve said they will do the Painted Stone Trail and drop the odd egg off if they find the hiding place of a stone.  We were bit worried about covid rules but he assures us that they all have rabbit sized disposable gloves and will wear these when they put the eggs out and they all regularly sanitize their paws too.  How good is that? 

So we don’t know when the eggs will be out but if you are one of the lucky people who finds a stone just after a rabbit has been by – you can add it to your Easter Egg collection!    Peter says not all the rabbits will hunt at the same time, they are very busy doing other things like digging burrows, but they will definitely be out at different times over the Easter weekend so lots of chances to pick up an extra egg if you do the hunt.    He’s shown us a photo of the eggs they will be leaving and assures me that they are very tasty (he had a lot of chocolate around his mouth so I believe he has been taste testing!)

Alert! Alert! Strange rabbit spotted in the village!

We’ve been informed that a very splendid looking Peter Rabbit has appeared in the village at the Book Shelter.  We’ve been down to have a chat with him and it appears that he has heard about the Painted Stone Hunt and thinks its a splendid idea.

He was a little shy but we managed to capture this picture of him and we must say he is looking pretty good.  A very handsome fellow indeed.  Say hello if you are passing that way, and he has said he will keep an eye on the Clue Maps when we put them in the Book Shelter ready for you to pick up any time from Good Friday morning.  Only two more sleeps!!

He’s also hoping you will have a chat with him and admire his new blue coat, when you drop off your completed Clue sheet in the postbox which will be just near to him.  Oooh this is looking like being a fun Easter!

We’re counting down to Friday 2nd April when you can start to find those hidden stones. We will be publishing details over the next 8 days about how it will work so watch the news feed and the Adderley Village FB page.

We have had a wonderful collection of painted stones from young and old members of the village as well as guest stones from grandchildren. While you’re here take a minute to scroll down the page and look at the galleries of stones.

Reminder: We Need Your Stones By This Weekend

This amazing collection of painted stones were brought from Adderley School this afternoon. These will join the others; some will be used on the stone hunt and others will be included in the stone snake.

A quick reminder: we really need your stones this weekend so drop them off at Willow Lodge please. Just leave them by the door and we will find them.
