On the subject of hedgehogs,i went for a walk today and saw a hedgehog on the pavement,the first one i've seen in about 2 years. It was near to the church up the road that's being restored,so i asked the stone masons working there if they had a towel or cloth i could use to pick it up and and put it somewhere safe. By the time they'd found one the hedgehog had gone. They must be able to move at some speed,or it could've been that it was camouflaged among the fallen leaves. Anyway,i didn't see a squashed hedgehog on my way back,which i was half expecting. I hope it wandered off to somewhere safe.
