Reader Tony Jakeman has been in touch to ask if I can plug this event. West Midlands Hedgehog Rescue have an open day planned at The White Horse, Mount Pleasant, Cheslyn Hay this Saturday, 10th September 2016 from 12 noon until 4pm.

There will be plenty of Hedgehog-related fun – as well as activities and games for children and adults of all ages, including bouncy castle, face painting and stalls.

This is a very worthwhile and important service, particularly in light of the declining hedgehog population in the UK. These charming, often misunderstood creatures are a very important part of our ecology, and it’s good to see people fighting for them.

Please pop along and support Joan and friends if you can.

Who doesn’t love a hog?
