Hi Annie

I know what you mean about the weather. It can’t make up it’s mind, either – cold for a couple of days and then mild again. I hope we don’t have a few feet of snow either! Not sure how poor hoglet 0 would manage. I think he/she might end up being Oliver or Olivia. Originally called hoglet 0 because there was a vaguely 0 shaped mark on his/her face. I suspect he may have vision problems (if he has, he always seems to have had) but appears to get around like any other hog, so I wouldn’t want to interfere. He seems to be managing very well and has grown. But snow would make it difficult re. scent he’s left around.

Poor birds being kept up all night by the lights. I did an hour of Big Garden Birdwatch this morning, but there was a marked absence of the usual starlings. Very strange. I might have another go tomorrow and see if there’s a difference. Although, hopefully, someone else will have picked them up in their gardens.

No I’m not sure about another topic title either. In some ways, its handy having old posts here to refer to .

I imagine it might put the hogs off to start with, with new building work, but once it’s done they will be o.k. again. Especially with your new specially hog friendly designed garden! I have one or two small changes planned for my garden, but the weather just hasn’t been right for getting out there to do anything much. Most people would probably think it looks a mess now, but there are plenty of seed heads for the birds to sample. Good luck with your designing.
