Now back to gardening, here in West Midlands last night the temperature
climbed to 14 degrees C now for time of year that is positively tropical.
Global warming would be welcome if it wasnt for the High blustery winds
we have had for several days now,

Agreed. As from now it looks like we will be discusing the onset of the
first High winds rather than the first frosts.
It's all rather daft at the moment--Bananas still growing outside in
December--in Bloomin Yorkshire.

and Hedgehogs still eating the cats leftover breakfast.

The local newspaper tells us that owing to the long and warm end to the
summer, hedgehogs had three litters rather than two. This last litter is
finding it hard to get food - apparently - and the sanctuaries are receiving
hitherto unknown numbers of hoglets needing food and shelter. As hedgehogs
are already under stress for habitat and food, keeping an eye open for them
now and as it gets colder - if it does - would be a Good Idea.
