British Hedgehog Preservation Society

Post by Richard »

Just to say I joined today......twice !!!

One for me and a special one for the Website which will enable me to 'Down the Lane supports the British Hedgehog Preservation Society' wherever.
I also hope this will make us all feel part of it.

If anyone wants to visit their pages...

PS. The ladies may like to see who the Patrons are :-D

I'm glad you've posted this - I daren't really try to help hedgehogs by building a house or encouraging them, because we live on a very busy 'A' road and I'd worry about them being run over.

But I can join this and hopefully help a bit {hog} {hog} )t'

Apart from seeing them, how do you know if you have them? And is there anything you can do to get them? Love them to bits and would happily take care of them.

Sorry, though, Richard - Ann Widdecomb just doesn't fo it for me!

I've posted a pic here of Hedgehog poo you should see some around if they are in the garden already.

To attract them in put out a couple of shallow dishes ..one with water and one with meaty dog food. {hog} )t'

Thanks, Jannie - I shall sift through the many types of pooh in our garden with renewed interest! I've never seen one here but will try to encourage them - it isn't hot and dry where we are, so they probably don't need that kind of help but we'll keep a watch.

Ben Fogle is a bit dishy it must be said, but I really wouldn't like to be his wife.
Can you imagine, every other week, "I'm off on another dangerous expedition, dear, don't know when or if I'll be back".
Must be worse than being married to a fireman I should think.

That's why I'm not married any more, two wives just couldn't keep up with my daring adventures around the globe :)

It's just hedgehogs now :-D
