    Hello to all you car drivers everywhere

    [​IMG]


    I have come here to tell you to be so very careful when you are driving

    [​IMG]

    Because this is the time of year when I am just learning to walk

    [​IMG]

    So please don't run me over

    [​IMG]


    I have got a lot of slugs yet to eat to help you protect your garden


    [​IMG]

    Thank you, Spikey XXX


    Edit..

    "No hedgehogs were harmed in the production of this post."

    Just some photos sent to me in an e-mail "doing the rounds," cute photos but I don't think you should handle baby hedgehogs....

    They've usually got fleas...

    OMG, daughter Willow is going to explode when she sees this.

    Was working on Inglesham Church back in 1995, staying away on a campsite.

    Came back from the pub after a few jars & found a huge hedgepig, he let me tickle his chin happily enough, so I thought i'd tickle his tummy. BIG MISTAKE......

    He curled up, trapping my hand at the wrist.

    So there was I, a bit pissed, in a field, in the dark with a FOGB hedgehog stuck on my mit.

    Boy was I glad the rest of the lads had gone home that night.

    Nearly as bad when I was running a job on a church in Devon & the mrs phoned up saying the chicken was ill.

    First thing in the morning, i'm surrounded by carpenters & stonemasons & she puts the chicken on the phone to me so I could bok at her to see whats wrong.:o

    Turned out she was just broody, the chicken, not the mrs.

    Still giggling at that Dai :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: Diolch yn vaur.

    Reminds me of winters when I was younger, i'd wait for the first snow fall & then run up & bang on the window saying, mum, dad, you know the deal....

    Let me in.

    I don't think he should worry too much about seeking medical help - they can only lock him up. :hehe:

    I'm more concerned about him giving medical help. :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Too late, I already used a 9 volt battery to try to revive my daughters goldfish, didn't work, but it did make the fish jump.
