A young hog? Note the white bristles.

Two hogs tonight. Mr. hoping to get lucky, and Mrs. saying ' not tonight lover boy - I am hungry and not for you

A solitary but very welcome supper guest tonight.

Terrible table manners. Standing in the supper dish. What next?

An old friend drops by for supper.

Not as nice as Porthmeor, but another lovely Coombe Gibbet sunset.

No table manners at all

Sunset at Combe Gibbet.

Hungry guest tonight.

For a second night, two hogs turn up for supper. And then a third turns up! Last night there was a huge Barney going on. Tonight is quiet. So far.

Three hedgehogs tonight - and strange courtship (or not) behaviour. Sharp hesitant steps - 'Just go away'. #lovehogs

Junior is back. Big Daddy (or Mummy?) came out an hour later and huffed a lot due to the empty dish. Rectified.

We all need a bear in our lives.

A great combo - nasturtium in flower on 29 December, and a crap view of Arthur's Seat.

A sign of Spring.

My copy plus a crap view of Arthur's Seat.

Our favourite supper guest.
