Furbulous Greetings Supurr Furiends

Welcome to the BBHQ midweek news round-up!

It's been rather warm this week at BBHQ, and the hedgehogs have been very active around the garden. We know that we haven't shared the two babies, so here they are in all their cuteness!

This is Bip Bip the Hedgehog.

And this is Nippy the Hedgehog.

They don't usually come out until it's a little darker, but they must have been hungry and thirsty. That's never anything they have to worry about at BBHQ as the bowls are always full, and there are many different watering holes around the garden,

And we have to tell mew this: never in the 25 years the P.A. has lived here has she ever seen a fox in the garden, and that's mainly because it's fenced all the way around with only small holes for the hedgehogs to come and go. However, very late on Sunday evening, the P.A. heard a noise by the summer house, and as she looked down the dark path she spied what she first thought was Fudge's doppelganger, who pops in for a visit now and again, but as the doppelganger got closer, she realised it was a juvenile fox, who suddenly froze and then slunk off into the shadows of the trees.

So BBHQ now has a little fox to go with the menagerie! MOL

The Highland Adventure continued...

On the way back to Perth along the A86 between Newtonmore and Spean Bridge, Pattack Falls is a popular tourist place to stop. Mew literally just pull in off the road, park up and walk down a little path, and mew come to this delightful stream.

It was a really warm day, and several people were paddling and kids splashing about in the crystal clear water, so photo opportunities were limited, but mew can see how pretty it is.

Apparently, if mew go up the path in the photo below, mew would see the waterfall. Sadly, the P.A. didn't have time or the right footwear for a trek, but if mew click here, mew can see what the P.A. missed.

It was so very pretty, and the link to the website above...

...shows many photos, and now the P.A. wishes she'd trekked on! MOL

Anyhoo, let's look at this week's top headlines.

Fudge adored reclining in the catservatory the other day, and spent hours upside down soaking up the warms.

We'll have some more Sunpots of The Week next time, so we'll see who got the best spot then! MOL

 Parsley Vamped Out

Parsley vamped out while sitting in the window the other evening. It's funny—not funny, haha, but funny strange, as at the time, we were watching Blade II with Wesley Snipes.

Maybe Parsley was inspired! MOL

Finally this week

Smooch Found A Cool Spot

It was really warm yesterday, so Smooch headed into the BBHQ library. It always stays much cooler in there if the door is kept closed and the blinds are down.

Later, he vanished into the Valentine's Cottage for a snooze, and the P.A. couldn't find him for ages! MOL
