OMG, There's A Real Life Hedgehog Bus!!

OMG, there was Eric minding his own business, in a world of his own, mooching up town, when all of a sudden he was drawn to an abrupt stop, stunned, completely mesmerized, rubbing his eyes and shaking his head in disbelief, positive that he HAD to be hallucinating ........ 


..... as a beautiful turquoise bus sidled up to one of the stops at the bus terminus ......


 ..... but it wasn't any sort of bus .......


..... this was a real life, actual Hedgehog Bus!  "It was," he said "love at first sight". It was as if his whole life as he knew it had been " .....turned upside down and uncontrollably shaken in a totally unmeasured fashion!"  What is he like? 


At that moment he knew that he wouldn't be able to rest until he could take a ride on said bus.  He needed to find the timetable and the route(s) tout suite and then climb on board as soon as humanly possible!


However, this might not be as easy as he'd first hoped, because it would seem that the bus is a community, volunteer run service to get the good people of Chipping Campden, Mickleton and surrounding villages to Stratford Upon Avon, Evesham and/or Moreton in Marsh.  The bus to Evesham runs on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but, if Eric wanted to go all the way to Chipping Campden on a Tuesday, he'd have to wait until Thursday to get back home!!!!


As you can imagine, the little fella is just a tad on the disappointed side at the moment, but where there's a will, as far as Eric is concerned, there's always a way. The only obvious option at the moment would be to catch the bus (on a Tuesday or Thursday) at 10.18am in Evesham and then get off at the next stop, to wit the 24 hour Tesco, a trip, sadly, of only five minutes. He'd then have time for an hours shopping or avail himself of an in store Costa, before catching the 11.30am back to town  ......... hmmmmmm 

As and when Eric comes to a decision you, as always, will be the very first to know!
