Devon and Cornwall Hopper Group

Helo my friends

I realy don't know why I didn't mention this before, but I am part of a super Hopper Group which operates in Devon and Cornwall. We have about 8 members so far but if anyone lives in these two counties and would like to join, you would be so very welcome We take it in turn to host meetings although it is usually our lovely founder Sharon who does this, she lives in Saltash. We also have rabbit welfare awareness days in various pet shops and our next is at the Liskeard Pets at Home on 16th April.

You would be made very welcome.

Sounds lovely. I wish i had something like that in my area

That's interesting, I wish I lived closer because I would have called in

I believe there are Hopper Groups all over the country, Rabbiting On usually prints a list of them. If however you are having trouble, I will see what I can find out.

Hey, I'd love to join.

I live in Plymouth, but would not be able to host as I still live at home I would love to help at awareness days too!

Sarah love, you would be so very welcome. Our next awareness day is on April 16th at Liskeard Pets at Home. Would you like to meet us there or perhaps meet me beforehand? The event starts at about 10.00 and don't worry, we stagger it so no one has to stay all day. I am not very well and get very tired but I wouldn't miss mt for anything.

Look forward to hearing from you.

I'd love to help at the Liskeard one, but not sure I can get down there yet. I'll have to let you know nearer the time I can probably attend a meet before hand.
Can I just ask, what are the age range of the members? (hope that's not too personal!)

Are you worried that it will be like the Exeter group, where everyone was at least 20 years older
than you Sarah, or in my case 30 years older?

No, not worried just wondering haha I'm nearly 21 would just be nice to meet some like minded people a similar age to me

It is a good question love and not personal at all. I would say the youngest person is 28, I don't know everyone's actual age but I can understand your wanting to know. I am 53, hubby is 50. Sharon, who I always think of as our leader is 57. There is Carol and Cheryl who I think are in their thirties and Suzanne who does not always attend because she comes from Barnstable and she has a young child. Sometimes he comes too and it is lovely.

Don;t worry about not being able to host, I can't either due to lack of space. We have hutches in our main room at the moment and they take up quite a lot of room.

We are not having a meeting before April 16th so the next time we see each other will be at Pets at Home on that day.

If you wo uld feel more commfortable meeting me before, please let me know. Do you drive love?

Squeak soon.

Jo xx

Thanks for getting back to me, you all sound lovely
I'd be happy to meet you before hand, but I don't mind either way. unfortunately I don't drive, so would have to rely on public transport or my dad to get me there.
Sarah xx

Your're welcome, it is a pleasure to write to you.

Daytime is best for us love, and we would be happy to come to you if you can just tell us when.

Evenings are not good because I am disabled and get very tired, but if you would like to let me know when it would be convenient for you, we will see if we can make that day. It will be lovely to meet you.

Hugs

Sounds like a good mix of people you have got there Jo. Wish i could get down, but I don't drive either so would probably have to get at least 4 busses from East Devon to your area, don't think it could be done in a day.

Oh bless you Jomart. I can understand the problem and having to spend so long travelling would take the joy out of it.

Thank you for replying.

Love Jo xx

Sorry I've taken so long to get back to you. If it would be easier you could meet me at my work place, (Bretonside Tropicals Plymouth) that's the main times I'm 'free' during the day. I'll be in on Thursday, 12-4 if that's any good? I'll be running the shop on my own from 12.30-2
Will be nice to meet you x

Hello love
Thank you for getting back to us and we wondered if Thursday 31 March would be OK, if we came in at about 12.30.

Paul has just asked me to ask you to kindly provide directions. Plymouth is very nice if you know it but the very devil if yoy don't

I look forward to meeting you too dear but do be prepared for lots of "ooohss" and "arraghs if you have anaimals there. I would like to give them all a home.

Hugs


Jo xx

Sorry for the delay. That day should be fine We have a website www.bretonsidetropicals.co.uk There is a map on there

We only sell fish so no cute fluffy's unfortunatly!

Sarah

Ha Ha Sarah, I love little fishes too and even I wouldn't try and cuddle one as I do everything else!!

Look forward to meeting you love.

Jo xx

Still on for thursday. Sorry I've not written back, just going through a bad patch of life at the moment.

Oh dear love I am sorry, I've been there on many an occasion.

I hope you are OK and if you want someone to talk to, I am only to happy to listen.

This forum does not appear to have a "private messaging" facility but if you want to talk I will give you my e-mail address. Don't worry if you have sorted things, in fact I hope today is a new day for you in more than one sense.

Hugs


Jo xx

Thanks

Split up with my boyfriend of 2 years, so I'm just trying to get over it. Feel a bit lost, but I should be fine in a couple weeks.

I am so sorry love. I have in that position on various occasions when I was young and it is always hard. I am sending loving and soothing vibes to you.
