I was a little taken aback to say the least when I heard about hedgehog cake being ready to go into the freezer.  Fortunately, it turned out it was a reference to the apple cake that Mum made yesterday.  She calls it hedgehog cake as the apple slices are stood upright as spikes on the top of the cake.  I was so pleased that no real hedgehogs were harmed as they are really quite cute although by some accounts have fleas.  Like a lot of wildlife, life is becoming more complicated for them so here’s hoping that people can do little bits and pieces to help them, in our case it is providing a couple of woodpiles to provide somewhere covered to hibernate.
