A strange encounter

Fetching daughter from Brownies, I led her back along a dark wynd. My foot bumped against something soft and round. We were retracing the route I had taken less than half an hour previously, and I didn't recollect seeing an obstruction, so I decided to investigate. I wasn't entirely surprised to find that the 'object' had prickles. This is the second time within about a month that we've met with a hedgehog. The previous occasion was in our own front garden.

A tiring day. I'm still recovering, I guess, from the virus I contracted earlier. A certain amount of controversy at work, which can be stimulating, but is also unsettling.
