She's been collecting eggs laid by the Easter chicken.
Just one will fit in her basket at a time, so she has to travel all over the garden ( and the mice only have tiny legs ), to collect as many as she can find, ready for our Easter Egg Hunt. It's taken her all day. And what a day! It was really cold in Medlar House garden today with a biting East wind. Celandine had to put on her woolly scarf and her hat to keep her warm.
Her basket is made from plaited felt. Looks quite heavy with just one large egg in it.
Celandine did have some help from her friend Arctic, the little white mouse from The Land of the Midnight Sun - Finland. She too had to wear her beret to keep warm but she is more used to the cold weather.
The Medlar House mice are very cosmopolitan! And very industrious.
