A few weeks ago, I went into my kitchen to find the bottom drawer where I usually keep tea towels open about an inch. So I bent down to close it, it wouldn't shut! A little investigation showed why, a hedgehog had stowed away there and was enjoying a nice snooze. How did it get in? I couldn't work it out, especially as the drawer wasn't open the night before. Has anyone ever heard of a pig-burglar'? 

The kind neighbour next door extracted the interloper using heavy gauntlets, my own having no resistance to extremely sharp prickles, just like thick needles!!! He/she was released unharmed into the garden and has not been seen since. There seems no point in charging for the stay. He/she was a very prickly customer!
