    Yep, "M", that's Jenny snoozing the day away where she can get the benefit of the Sun when it's out. And, of course, that's Sally asleep on the stone bench where she has the chance of shade if she wants it.:cat-kittyandsmiley::snorky:

        Hi Everhopeful, actually there are 3. One lives down by the wildlife pond and the other two live in the Compost Heap.:heehee:

          That's great Armandii. I'll have to get hedgehog friendly spots up and running soon, do so love to see them :)

            Well, I've acquired mine in that I got fed up of seeing them dead in the road when driving. I'm about 400 yards from the fields but there's a dual carriageway nearby, plus the lane of the back of my garden is quite busy. So after seeing a couple of dead ones in the lane I found one wandering into the danger area and I picked her up and put her in my garden which animals can't get out of. The other two I found just outside my gate and they're been in the garden now for around 3 years without any signs of them wanting to leave. There's plenty of natural food here for them and it's great to see them come wandering out of the borders every now and then while I sitting somewhere with a mug of tea. The two cats just look at them but never bother them:cat-kittyandsmiley::heehee: If I hadn't rescued them I think there's a good chance they would have been dead by now:coffee:

              Wonderful as always Armandii, the garden's not bad either. :biggrin:

              Joking aside, it's always a pleasure to take an amble around your garden. :dbgrtmb:

                Thanks, Sheal. It's nice to fall back on pics of past Springs and Summers when it's been wet, deary and miserable outside during a long Winter.!!:snorky:

                  Perhaps when it's wet and dreary next winter you might compile a thread of your Clematis' in bloom, assuming you've got pictures of them all. We'd love to see them :)

                      I can see me scrambling through the shrubs trying to get a pic of them all!!:hate-shocked::heehee:

                      Thanks Beckie, it does make me smile during the Summer when I'm sitting somewhere in the garden.:snorky:
