Hedgehogs continue to "haunt" Eric (formally known as Nigel) almost every time he enters a charity shop. He says he's now at peace with it all and it's the not stumbling across one that has him pondering these days.
However, yesterday was no not one of those such days because what was one of the first things he saw on the bric a brac shelves of Vale Wildlife (a most pertinent cause), but this erm ...... prime (????) specimen .......
......... which did not, in any way, enamour the little fella, who said that there was something, although the hedgehog itself couldn't help it, about it's face that didn't endear himself to Eric. Perhaps, he pondered, it was possibly something to do with its open mouth or its slightly faded/dusty appearance that made it look a tad past it's ornamental display by date.
Eric wasn't sure, so in this case it proved to be a very easy no purchase considered type occasion.

Wise decision, Nigel. That hedgehog ain't no Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle. It could be a very prickly character, indeed. Groan - sorry. :)
