A New Friend<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve got a new friend. It\u2019s so funny, under normal circumstances that would not be so exceptional, but when you\u2019ve been at home for the last nine months it really is very exciting. We\u2019ve all had to promise Mum that we won\u2019t go too close or try to play with it. You see, our new friend is a hedgehog. I think the word is out locally that Mum will spoil any local wildlife who want to come round. Our hedgehog will be no exception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Putting out Food<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It all started when Mum was about to take Ari out. She brought Ari back inside so she could check if our hedgehog was ok. It was dark, so it being out and about in itself wasn\u2019t a concern. However, she did think he was looking a little on the small side to be hibernating. She came in to find a saucer of food the hedgehog might like and says she\u2019ll take something out each evening. She doesn\u2019t want to leave the food out generally as last time she tried that the visitors we got were not of the welcome variety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thankful for Wildlife<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You know, without us and the wildlife I think Mum might have gone a little crazy over the last few months. I\u2019m really pleased that our little family has grown again. Mind you, it didn\u2019t stop Mum suggesting yesterday that she was going to have as her new year\u2019s resolution \u2018to become more eccentric\u2019. That doesn\u2019t bear thinking about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shadow\u2019s Coat<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At long last Shadow\u2019s coat is starting to look better. Mum has been giving her a little seaweed each day and it has done the trick. The rate she\u2019s going she\u2019s going to be looking better than all the rest of us. Ari and I have asked if we can start having seaweed powder too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Love<\/p>\n\n\n\n
