I made a rare foray into London today to collect King Pickles from the Science Museum. He has been an exhibit there for four months and although I have missed him I am sure he has brought joy into the lives of many thousands of visitors.

It was an appropriate day of collect the rabbit since today is Easter Sunday. It is written in the bible that on Easter Sunday the three kings arrived to visit Jesus. "Too late your majesties," said a wandering peasant, "he's in that tomb over there."

The three kings went to the tomb and forced it open with a gemmy. Inside they found no sign of Jesus, although frankly how would they know what he looked like? Instead there was a large rabbit in the tomb, holding a basket of chocolate eggs.

"Thank Christ for that," said the rabbit, "I've been stuck in here since Friday."

And the three kings ate heartily of the chocolate and one of them was sick.
