Perhaps you pushed the wrong button on the remote. Did you have to confirm your age and get a bill?

Phil used to feed visiting hedgehogs IIRC.  We do get sparrows, starlings and bluetits in our small garden.  And butterflies and bees.

What always intrigues me is Hollywood's interpretation of the warhorse. A destrier carrying an armoured knight could not have the near thourghbreads shown

Eric  cursed and set out for a shop
There must surely be a nice co-op
And there it was, but as he parked his car
He saw the pub next door and fancied a jar

I think I might have got muddled up with another programme thats on, where they are all naked there,too?
I think they are on an island somewhere?    They were all sitting about on sun loungers,  drinking and flirting and I believe even dining together in the nuddy.
I never watched Love Island,  but I think this one was much the same.    
Not for me, but each to their own I suppose. 

Very good post, Raven,  and sadly,  so true.
So many people just want everything low maintainence these days,  with paving, tarmac, and even artificial grass everywhere.
What with that, and more and more forests and farm land being built on these days,  I am not surprised our wildlife is suffering.

When I was younger, the men used to grow all the veg for family meals,  keep a few hens for eggs (and meat),  maybe even  a goat for milk.   Where I used to liven  my neighbour even still nad an old pig sty at the bottom of her garden.
I remember my Dad having a veg garden and some hens.

I do get quite a few butteflies, bees, and birds, and I used to have a big old Toad visiting, but I havent seen him for a long time now.   I always have a lot of ladybirds too.
I have always liked hedgehogs, but never seen one in my garden here.  Unfortunately I dont like to cut a hole under the fence because jt would also give easy access for the rats who visit next door's hens too!   They cause enough aggro digging under my shed as it is.

Thankyou Muddy.    So it seems its like I  said in the first post -  its all about money,  and for those  same selfish buggers who already have plenty in the  bank to start with.

If there is  reincarnation and an after life,  they need to come back as a racecourse, because experience is the best teacher.

Scrumps,  exactly the same thing has happened to me -  twice.

An ENT consultant, foreign accent, and masked.   Perhaps it was the same one you had! 
THe second time was one of my GP's.  I struggled to understand her through her mask wnen i sat in front of her,  but didn't stand a cat in hell's chance over the phone later.
