Hedgehogs

Yes, I know it's called Hedgehog's Cottage, but that actually had more to do with a web site run by a friend about ten years ago!

Don't get me wrong though! I love hedgehogs! Here's a picture I took in my parents back garden when I was younger - you can even see its little tongue sticking out if you look closely! Awww - innit cute!

I entered it (the photo, not the hedgehog) in the BBC Young Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition, but didn't win anything!

I went to Australia a couple of years ago and met their nearest equivalent - the echidna.

Prickly Ball Farm. I learned about this place when I was living in Exeter (it's near Newton Abbot). Unfortunately I didn't have a car and was only living there for ten months so I never managed to visit it.

Hedgehog Hill Guest House in Keswick (The Lake District). We stayed there for Tim's birthday and were certainly well looked after! There are several hedgehog-related items around the place, but not enough to overwhelm a non-hedgehoggy person!

Sorry, that's a fairly pathetic list of links. If I find some more good ones I'll add them on.
