Friends! Mr Penguin sang to the Triplets! They didn’t run away, and were quite intrigued, although perhaps not as impressed as they should be. Baby Dog was so happy to hear the singing! I feel I have given Percy long enough in the Sleigh - if he doesn’t vacate it today, SleighGate 🛷 might begin!

Last week I told you that Auntie Rachel came to tidy up the Memorial Garden and I was getting used to seeing her.
She came yesterday and look what she brought for me!
I wasn't supposed to help myself but I took a chance before she put the lid back on.

Good morning welcome to Tippetty tap tap Thursday

Be proud of yourself for showing up today.
Even on the days you don’t feel ready, you’re still trying and that matters more than you know.

Night night sweet dreamies

It’s okay to feel sad and let the feelings sit with you.
They’re real and human.
Even when it feels endless, it won’t be.
Feel what you feel, you won’t stay here forever
I promise

Matriarchs and bulls carry ancient migration routes in their memory – critical knowledge passed down through generations. Our Water for Wildlife Project supports these journeys, providing lifelines during the harshest months.

Thank you to our donors for helping us support our wild neighbours.

Good morning, @bsky.app and #CatsOfBluesky
Rainy here, so I thought I'd head to the south of France, but it was raining there as well. Who cares, bring on the cassoulet. Bonne journée. Murray, the girl cat.

Friends! Mum has so little time at the moment with Dad not here, but she’s trying to do a bit of Christmas prep every day. Look what she got out of the loft! It’s the SLEIGH 🛷 and MR PENGUIN! 🐧 Percy likes the Sleigh a bit too much… I’m waiting for my turn!

I've made another new friend!
Phil came into the veranda to have a coffee and I welcomed him by sitting on his lap.
Betty told me that I'm coming out of my shell.
I've never had a shell but I suppose she knows what she's talking about.
I'm learning new things every day.

Good morning & welcome to Whiskers Wednesday

Kindness is free.
Go on and sprinkle that stuff everywhere.
A smile, a gentle word, a tiny moment of patience , it all adds up to something bigger than we realise.

Be kind

A queue is forming for the grand opening of the #HedgewatchXmas Advent Calendar, there’s even some tents appearing in the meadow. If you’d like to join in, here’s a few backgrounds (no pictures needed though) & wrap up warm too, Brock’s dug out a few spare woollies. 😻 1/2

When was the last time you sat
and gave yourself credit for how much you’ve grown and how far you’ve come?
When was the last time you
celebrated a relatively small win, just because?

#Hedgewatch Baby Rhino's favourite coat! 😻 🦏👶
Newborn rhinos are extremely vulnerable. They need to be shielded from even the slightest chill, hence Chamboi's woollen, cherry red blanket. It was such a favourite when he first came into our care, that he flatly refused to wear anything else! Meet the rhinos currently in our care: t.co/CvOTGiQk8X

Hello #Hedgewatch!
How are you all today?
It’s been very busy at HQ, Brock’s working overtime trying to get ready for the annual #HedgewatchXmas Advent Calendar, not long to go now. 🎄
We’re so excited, we can already hear meows of “OPEN THE DOOR!” echoing through the woods!
Help yourself to snacks😻

Friends! Mum is still trying out ideas for things to distract the Triplets once the Christmas Tree goes up - so she put on Cat TV for the first time 📺 Percy was the only one who was intrigued by it. Cleo and Ron took no notice of it at all. I marvel at how different their personalities are!

I followed Colin to the veranda yesterday.
He put some food down for me.
Amanda was there and as soon as she saw me she jumped up onto a table so she could watch me.
I don't know if we will ever be friends but at least she doesn't hiss at me.
All I'm interested in at the moment is food.

Excuse me! It’s Ron here. I wanted you to know that, every day, I look after Baby Dog. If he spills a biscuit when he’s eating, I pick it up for him. Also I let him snuggle up to me in the Favourite Sofa Spot so he doesn’t get cold. I think you’ll be pleased to hear this 🧡

I'm making new friends every day.
This human loves cats and came to say hello to me.
His plot is next to where Maurine has moved to.
Once Maurine gets used to humans I think he will enjoy having a fuss from him.
I think the allotments are a good place to meet new humans.

Good Morning & welcome to marvellous marmalade Monday

The secret, my lovely friends, is to keep close the souls who make your heart feel light and your purr run deep
When you’re surrounded by kindness, warmth and a little everyday magic… that’s when your own Wonderland appears

With only a week before day 1 of the #HedgewatchXmas Advent Calendar we’re auditioning for kittens & under 2s who’d like to be in our Nativity Play. It’s always a big “aaah” moment on Christmas Eve.
Here’s last year’s if you’d like a reminder.
Enjoy! 🎄
