Only ever seen one large hedgehog here a couple of years ago in daylight so I fed it some cat food but 2 days later it was dead so maybe ill or just old. None since but our entire plot has a wire mesh fence round it and cos we have dogs we keep the gates shut so I shall have to cut some discreet holes in quiet corners to allow them back and forth.
Took Rasta to the vet again this morning. Popped into France Rurale on the way back for fat balls and beetroot plugs but no fat blocks with mealworms or insects. The PO doesn't open till 10am at the mo so I've come home for a coffee while I wait. OH is off to the dump and then we'll be planting posts again. Maybe that will make it rain.
Have a safe and happy day everyone.

Morning all. I hope the day goes well for you @D0rdogne_Damsel, great engine.
We are going to visit Southwold, memories of childhood holidays, my grandparents lived there. If it's very busy we won't stay, but there is a prom that OH can drive his buggy on. It has rained here this morning but the forecast for the east coast is good.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Oooh @Busy-Lizzie, if you go down to the harbour can you have a look and see if any of the fishermen's huts selling fish are up and running yet? We're due a day out soon and I'm getting fresh fish withdrawal symptoms ..........
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
We have damp bits but not proper rain. OH has been to the dump and done a very long detour to fetch his strimmer from the workshop. Good. That means he can start on clearing scrub ready to dig my new bed so I can plant out the nursery.
Enjoy your day out @Busy-Lizzie. 4th Friday in a row I've hoped to go to the nature reserve to try out my knee but have to stick around today to fetch Rasta. Maybe I should change days.
