Hedgehog in the Garden

Curious World Photography, Capture the moment

I am so happy to meet you

I am so excited I feel like a little girl!!!  I have just been outside to call the cats in for the night (it is 9.30pm) and there on the lawn looking up at me was this beautiful hedgehog!!  I can not remember the last time I actually saw a hedgehog, it must have been when I was a little girl, hence my child like excitement now.  On seeing the hedgehog, I ran to my office, grabbed my camera and hoped he would still be there looking adorable when I came back out again.  Armed with my camera, a silly grin and a bowl of cat food (they like cat food) I happily found him still there looking cute.  I only managed 2 photos before he decided that flash photography was not for him and ran into the bamboo at the back of the garden.  Mr Hedgehog (or Mrs) you have made my day.  Thank you.  For those of you as silly as me, this site will bring a grin to your face whilst being informative!! http://www.britishhedgehogs.org.uk/kids/letter_from_spike.htm

Saturday morning!

This morning at 5am I realised that spring is coming fast.  As the rain put a shine on all outside the birds were singing their glorious morning song to each other.  Each black bird trying to out sing each other, the Robins making their chirp heard and many other little birdies melodiously waking me from my slumber.  Unfortunately this also woke the children so I have literally been up for hours and it is not 10am yet!!!  Such is the life of a parent.

The only noise I can hear now is them playing down in the playroom inside a large box.  No I have not put them in a box to post back to their grand parents, it is their den which I think will last for the remainder of this half term.

Their Dad and friends have gone off to walk Butser Hill and I do hope that the weather is kind to them because I really don’t think much pleasure can be had walking up a hill in the driving wind and rain.  We shall see.  My job this morning whilst not updating the meta data on every page of my site, is to keep the boys amused so from this blog I must go and join in the frolics in the den.  First distraction for the kids is a trip to the supermarket to get potatoes and leeks!!  The party never ends here!!!

Have a great day.
