Part Of Eric's DNA

Before heading back home from his little sojourn in Worcester, it would have been rude for Eric (formally known as Nigel) not to embrace a few of its choice shops .......

...... and I suppose, these days, it's safe to say that no mooch for Eric, would be a proper mooch, without the little fella stumbling upon the odd hedgehog or two or three  .......

...... all of which he now takes in good grace ........

........ accepting that, for whatever reason, hedgehogs have just become a part of his perusing DNA.

However, as of yet, none have actually managed to come home with him. I'm not sure what it would take for him to make a considered purchase, but no doubt, one day we will find out.  To be honest, I think he may have missed a trick with the very first one, which appears to be an unusual, multifunctioning hedgehog in the guise of a letter rack/pen holder, a little different from the more obvious drinking vessels!
