Atlantic with Lorna Field

Sir
Parsley on his way to the house of Sir Richard (Branson) for a
party! He has his ticket there as you can see. I was angling to
actually get a picture of Sir Richard and Sir Parsley together
but Sir Parsley was so busy flirting with all the girls at the
party and swigging the free champagne that he got a little tipsy
and we had to take him home before he embarrassed himself... some
bunnies just cant handle their drink can they?....
|
Sir
Parsley spent a day helping out at the rescue. We made sure he
wore his apron so he didnt get a mucky bun, and one of his first
jobs was to test the softness of the straw bedding. He was supposed
to help cleaning out after this but he was still there 3 hours
later snoring his head off after which time he declared the bedding
"very comfortable indeed"...so at least we are getting
that right!

Sir
Parsley helps Jamie with laying the slabs in the rescue. This
is to give an even base for the new bunny cabins to stand on.
Sir Parsley: "So, do I have to sit here until the concrete
is dry then?"
|
Next
up and Sir Parsley was off to spend the day at Virgin Atlantic
Airways with Lorna, at London Heathrow. Sir Parsley was very keen
to try all aspects of the job. Here he is on the radio to the
departure gates to see what the status of the flights are.
"Ground agent Sir Parsley to all gates, are you receiving?
Over."
|
|
|
Next Sir Parsley went to visit the baggage department. Here he
is helping to make a report about a damaged suitcase so that the
customer can claim on their travel insurance for it. His role
was vital here as the finished reported stated: "On arrival
the case was found to have dent of approximately the diameter
of a small rabbit...."
|
After
his visit to the baggage department Sir Parsley realised the value
of always making sure your luggage is well labelled. He decides
its best not take any chances with his own safety.
|
|
|
Sir
Parsley gets a lesson on check in from Senior Passenger Service
agent Lori and deals with his first customer. "Tickets and
Passports please"
|
Now
that he is a dab hand at this travel lark after his trip with
Ingrid Tarrant, Sir Parsley decides he will see if he can go on
a flight. There are seats available on Virgin flight VS1..or was
that VS BUN to Rabbitville USA and Sir Parsley opts for trying
it on for an upper class upgrade. "Well....I'm not really
an economy rabbit...."
|
|
|
Unfortunately
Parsley forgot his passport and couldn't go but as a special treat,
he was allowed to sit on the Upper Class Check-in desk with Lorna
and look important for a while
|
Sir
Parsley was shatttered at the end of his shift and had to hitch
a ride home on Lorna's Bag!
