Hedgehogs.

The sweet chestnuts empty cases look like baby hedgehogs . It is now dropping it's leaves. The beech tree has less leaves now ,soon it will be bare.
Hedgehogs do not come round this way but badgers do. My sister as she lives near a wood has all sorts of wild life come into her garden.
I think I am the capital city of slug and snails, spiders coming in a close second.
It's been a warm sunny day so far with a slight drizzle. But it has turned windy.
I was reminded that 27 years ago about the big storm that didn't happen according to some people never happened. Well it did I was awake through it all with my eldest in bed with me. Next day we had to pick my dad up from hospital after having a bypass done. He was so,worried that we couldn't make it but we did. He was a charge nurse by profession and he made a very bad patient. His words not mine.
