It goes without saying that Eric is now longer phased by stumbling across at least one hedgehog while he's out and about charity shop mooching, with the majority being of an ornamental type nature.
However, he has noticed, of late, one or two hedgehogs with purpose popping up in amongst the bric a brac shelves, which, he has reasoned might be a little more acceptable to Darrell as far as his careful curating is concerned ........
...... to wit this unusual, treen, hedgehog coaster set found in the Salvation Army shop, of which Eric had a spooky sort of feeling in his water might be something special and so has had a smidge of non purchasers regret on leaving it, especially after he found it on Etsy selling for an awful lot more than it was marked up as. Therefore, it shalt now be known as the "one" that got a way, Eric siting Darrell's particular aesthetic as to what we place our glass or mug chez Towers!
And then, as you would have it, right next to said hedgehog was yet another, unused set of coasters, priced at £3, which Eric immediately knew would certainly not pass Darrell's stringent coaster test .......
Eric also resisted this hedgehog pillow, though tempted, as it struck him more as an autumnal decorative feature and while we are basking in all this glorious spring sunshine he didn't want to jinx anything. ........

The one that got away. Maybe you should Google said product, when you are in the shop, to see if it is a Rembrandt or a Stradivarius.
This reminded me of an old Tommy Cooper joke:
I went up into the attic and found a Stradivarius and a Rembrandt.
Unfortunately Stradivarius was a terrible painter and Rembrandt made lousy violins.
Another old Tommy Cooper joke, goes something like this:
Bill went to his doctor to discuss his bowel movements. He explained the problem to the Doc.
"Every morning, regular as clockwork, I have a number two at 07:30."
The doctor says that is great, many people are much less regular, you much have a good diet and I wouldn't worry about it.
"But'', says Bill, "I don't get up until 08:00!''
Treen is a new word, for me. Mum and her monkeys are educational, too!
The hedgehog coaster set looks great, I’d have bought them!

I'm quite taken by the little, abandoned Peter Rabbit there. He needs someone to pick him and his carrot up and take him home. JantheFan x
