A surprise visitor

We were amazed to see a hedgehog appear today while watching the birds feeding in the snow. He was only little, so we gave him plenty of food to help get through winter.


The pheasants weren't too sure what to make of him!




Update:The first picture was shown on BBC Look East on Monday evening - except they stuck a BBC banner right across the hedgehog which kind of defeated the point of sending it to them!

New walk report added

Over on the side there ------->

Pictures and report on Hadrian's Wall path is finished. The next report is already underway, the Cumbria Way, which we walked straight after Hadrian's Wall (the two link together nicely).

I've added up the miles from walks this year on long distance paths and it comes to just under 400 miles taking their 'published' distances. In most cases I think we do at least 10 miles above that, with detours to bed and breakfast, visiting places on the way etc.
