SEPEMBER - no, that's not a typo, it's a whole month without tea!

I'm raising money for Rabbit Rescue North West, who rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome rabbits across North West England. Rabbits are the third most popular pet in Britain, but are also in the top list of household pets that are extremely neglected and often misunderstood, with their care needs often not sustained.

I have always loved rabbits and was very lucky to have many years with the wonderful Merlin (lop-eared rabbit in the cover photo). His partner in crime Poppy (up-eared rabbit in the cover photo) was adopted from RRNW, who then gave a huge amount of time and patience in finding her a new friend in Bungle when we lost Merlin. Bungle is the lop-eared rabbit in the photos below - it turns out Poppy likes brown lop-eared men! I've also included a couple of photos of some of the many rabbits RRNW have helped since I started volunteering with them.

As with many other animal rescues across the country, RRNW have had a tough year so far. They have taken in rabbits with serious health problems, suffered many losses, and had to foot seemingly endless vet bills. I've decided the best way to raise funds for them amongst my friends and family is by giving up drinking my beloved tea for the month of September. Thank you for your support!
