I suspect we've had that title before! This is going to be my fourth Christmas without a tree, and I love having the tree up, but needs must when the state, the market and recalcitrant relatives drive! Yet I have've given up looking for nice things to add as it's been the tradition every year, to add a few, if only to make good cat-loses!
And, to that end, I have had a lot of luck in Charity shops, who don't seem to have as many decorations as in some years (less people 'having a change'?), but have nevertheless managed to furnish me with three hedgehogs!
I actually bought the one holding a seed-case (right-hand of the pair on the dark-green background), new, and sort of regretted it as he's a bit big compared to the others, but then the tagless one (bottom left) came in last for 10p, and he's a big'un too, so there will be balance . . . Ohmmmmmm!
I'm best-pleased with the blown glass one, as I'm pretty sure I didn't buy it, for being too expensive, in the big John Lewis in Basingrad a few years ago, now it's mine for 50p!
All four together, they will be joining the existing four, yes, I doubled the hedgehog inventory in one season! The little one on the right is a duplicate I think, see below, but the way I tackle the tree, like planning for D-Day, they will be on opposite sides, so as it gets turned (twice daily so you get three clearly viewable thirds), the order will be perfect!
