explorer goodbye hedgehog

Visitor beside the front door. Wild life is hard to resist even when it is on the slow side.

Someone with whom we have exchanged a few words departs from  a seat neighbouring ours in The Tunbridge Wells Bar and Grill. He says "see you later." It is a new way of saying goodbye which I have noticed is now becoming quite common.

 In a friends garden where we are drinking and eating yesterday evening a hedgehog appears and scurries across the path.  We follow quietly to see if we can see it. It is hiding in some shrubs watching us watching it.  Wild life again. A sense of other worlds close to and parallel with ours but managing as far as possible to keep separate.
