"You
can get a lover any day, but never another mother" said by Elsie Ward
Boyd, with annoying regularity to her teenage daughter.
Not exactly sure what that says about my
mother, or her judgement of her daughter's attractiveness ....
Afternoon
tea at The Grand Hotel with Pearl,
Mrs Mobilephone and Mrs Leftfoot.
Sandwiches, scones, cakes, chuckles, chat,
gossip, a soupcon of bitchin', tea and a lovely view of the sea. What else could ladies d'une certain age ask
for?

Coming
home late last night from the WI AGM I spotted something small scurrying down
the drive.
For a moment I thought it
might be a rodent - but no - much to my delight I realised it was a hedgehog.
It scurried along the pavement by my front
wall but, as I was concentrating on parking the car I didn't see where it went
next.
Either into Miss and Doozer
Esquire's garden, or up their drive.
But
that is why, Ernextdoor, my car is parked at a funny angle.
Ernextdoor Thank you
for letting me know and I will be extra vigilant for the HH XX
Birdfoodlady Unashamedly plugging Jools' table here, will be at Killingworth Shopping Centre this
Friday and Cullercoats Creatives Market in Cullercoats Methodist Church next
Saturday (29th) with really good hedgehog and wild bird food hand packed in
reclaimed plastic containers.
Bentonbag Talking of which, I must get my stash of reclaimed
plastic containers over to you somehow.
Miss Doozer Thank you for leaving space for the hedgepig. I shall
keep a look out for it.
Bentonbag tbh I
realised that if I didn't stop watching the hedgepig I was going to drive into
my own garden wall (again), so there was a bit of a swerve and, in the words of
my oldestbestfriend Henffrind, I thought "Bugger it, I'll park here."

In July 2007 tidying the garden we found this little hedgehog, curled up
asleep. I wanted Thunderthighs to see one close up. We
returned her to a dark, quiet corner behind the compost heap. |
