Â鶹Éç

John Graham's decision to return from London to live in his native County Down seems to have been a good one.

His English wife Ruth loves her new home, and the children seem to have settled in well too - especially when they're allowed to keep a young, abandoned hare as a pet.

In fact, Northern Ireland seemed an idyllic place to live until they found the leveret...

"The leveret is said to be capable of contacting the middle world... it's all superstitious nonsense, of course..."
