Ragwort / sunset

Busy but successful day at work.  In the evening, Tim and I went to the Angel for his birthday meal.  Absolutely love it in there - the food and service are both so good.  We treated ourselves to starters this time, too - and a nice bottle of NZ wine.  And booked again for August while we were there :)

After that, we came home and sat out in the summer house until it got dark.  Having been such a hot day, it was a lovely balmy evening.  We were treated to a beautiful sunset, aerial acrobatics by the local bats - and then a visit from our local hedgehog.  I was so excited about the latter!  We'd seen it on the trail camera a few times recently, and it had arrived about 10:30pm a couple of times.  About five to ten, Tim joked 'Only half an hour to the hedgehog' - I looked over towards the bird feeder and said 'What's that dark thing over there?'  And lo and behold, it was the hedgehog! 

Happiness :)

(Oh, and this is the ragwort I dug up from my Mum's garden and brought home to plant in my little wildflower patch.  Tim kindly lit it up with his torch while I took a quick phone photo.)
