    We were sitting in the Garden yesterday afternoon enjoying a cup of tea when this tiny furry looking white thing walked across the table, followed by another and then a couple of baby ones ! I have never seen them before, they resemble tiny white hedgehogs (but smaller than a Ladybird) If you could tell me what they are i will know if im dealing with friend or foe.
    Thank you for your help.
