Waking up at 4 o'clock this morning, I looked out into the half-light before sunrise - and there at the edge of the lawn was a hedgehog !
Our neighbours told us they'd sometimes spotted them in their garden, so I've been on the watch ever since. This is the first live hedgehog I've seen in the UK - the only other one being in Sweden, many years ago.
It's been a rainy, windy day, and we stayed in and did odd jobs until late afternoon when Greger challenged me to a game of Scrabble. And what did the first seven tiles I pulled out of the bag include? Only needed an "I".
Talk about adding insult to injury!
