Yesterday we welcomed a new member to our family. Let me introduce you to "Greeny" the Bilby.
I first saw Greeny's adoption photo on Isabella's Instagram feed and immediately it was love at first sight! After verifying that I would be a suitable adoptive Mum, Isabella carefully packed Greeny into his shipping container and sent him off to his new forever home.
Yesterday morning I heard a faint knock at my front door and opened it to find Greeny sitting there.

"Hello. Is this my new forever home?" |
It had been a long journey for Greeny and just as well that Auntie Isabella had told me what food bilbies eat so I had plenty of chocolate and nutella on hand to feed him. The bananas hadn't held up too well in the heat so I will make Greeny a special banana cake with them instead.

Greeny was very happy to be offered so much food after his long journey. |
