I have been nagged in the nicest possible way by Jean Miles to complete the hedgehog story, which is now complete.

We had a card around Christmas time to tell us that "our" hedgehog had not survived - she had lungworm, which is quite a common problem with them, and two courses of treatment had not helped, and she died. Ah well, at least she was given the best chance.

We then had a phone call a month or so ago, to ask if we would like replacements. Of course we would, so we collected two of them from the sanctuary: one boy and one girl. We put the cardboard boxes under the deodar tree and opened the flaps. Sometime during the night they came out and ate the mealworms we had put out for them, and then they departed.

That is the last we have seen of them, which, of course is exactly as it should be. If you see them they will usually be in trouble.

So no photos for this one.

There will be pictures soon of my latest "I'm just doing this for amusement" project. I am having to think seriously how to set the photos up for the model I have created - the real situation had an Abbey and a Palace for background. And, no, it is not the knitted scene!
