@HedgehogCabin @Roodles_a 2 of 2 I still haven’t seen 1 single hedgehog since my vile neighbours decided to slowly torture wildlife to death. I have managed to feed a fox though. And I’ve applied for a rescue dog since my Marley died.

@HedgehogCabin @Roodles_a I’m not an overly emotional woman. Ok , that’s a lie. I’m menopausal! 😬 However, I’ve lived in this house over 9yrs. Initially it was a wire fence at end of garden & i’d watch them trundle along. 1 got its foot caught & I helped free him. 1 of 2

@SamHalls2015 @DrHoenderkamp I can’t get my head around it. I get annoyed/angry/upset over many issues but this has really got to me!!!!

[Melanie Downes @melanied71]

@SamHalls2015 @DrHoenderkamp I used to work for Children’s Services and I didn’t think there was anything but life on register!!!!

[Melanie Downes @melanied71]

@SamHalls2015 @DrHoenderkamp Also life on sex offender register!!!!!! I didn’t know there was another option until today!!!!!!

[Melanie Downes @melanied71]

@HedgehogCabin @Roodles_a Two or three food bowls and I always put more water bowls out cos it’s not just hedgehogs who need water. I have seen two at a time but unfortunately, yes it’s me Mrs Doom & Gloom, still nothing since neighbours poisoning!!! 🤬🤬🤬

@ScottMGimple BUT NOT IN THE UK!!!! IT’S NOT LIKE WE HAD A HAND IN KEEPING THE SHOW ALIVE! I had to purchase’Dead City’, ‘The Ones Who Live’ & ‘Daryl Dixon’ on DVD!!! (Luckily I had blu ray player ready for tip) MONTHS after shown in USA!!!

[Melanie Downes @melanied71]

@Serena_Partrick REPULSIVE!!! That imbecile judge has basically opened the flood gates for appeals from prisoners with similar/lesser charges. Also set a precedent for future abusers!!!!!!! #ItsNotWhatYouKnowItsHuwYouKnowYourHonour!

[Melanie Downes @melanied71]

@TracyAnnO I’m more concerned about what message it sends to paedophiles!!!!!

[Melanie Downes @melanied71]

Since when has there been flexibility on time spent on ‘SEX OFFENDERS REGISTER’???!!!!!! Thought once you’re on it you stay on it!!!!!! My 19yr old niece was a (filmed) victim when underage. Still awaiting court date!! Her Mum died just after. What about HER mental health?!!

[Melanie Downes @melanied71]

@LozzaFox What the ever loving?! So one can only assume that ALL paedophiles will now serve no prison time & current offenders will be immediately released!!!! A precedent has been set. If I’d eaten today I’d throw up!!! #HuwEdwards #JudicialPower

[Melanie Downes @melanied71]

@piersmorgan OUCH!!!

[Melanie Downes @melanied71]

@HedgehogCabin I’d also encourage leaving hay out. Not in massive piles. This is particularly important in neighbourhoods like mine where there is little to no consideration for wildlife.

[Melanie Downes @melanied71]

@paulineannejack @HedgehogCabin Unfortunately you’re not alone re unhelpful neighbours. Mine actually blocked my highway & poisoned a mother & hoglet. My steady stream of visitors have not returned since despite my encouragement. 😢😢😢

[Melanie Downes @melanied71]

@HazelAppleyard_ I’m not sure what the message is. Seems to me that it’s deliberately aimed at a certain audience, hoping for the hate! You are not trailblazers! It’s common for women to die during childbirth leaving fathers to raise their baby.

[Melanie Downes @melanied71]

@RNN_RoyalNews Isn’t ‘Polo’ a Jilly Cooper novel?! 😬😁

[Melanie Downes @melanied71]

@MarkRonson Chuffed that you & Charlotte have been in touch with my Auntie Su. I know it has meant a great deal to her. Thank you ❤️❤️❤️

[Melanie Downes @melanied71]

@HedgehogCabin My compost bin is 3ft max from hedgehog highway & right next to shed. Only time ‘door’ came off was when my stepdad knocked it & didn’t bother to put it back. Luckily I noticed quickly. Stuff at bottom must be rank!!! 🤮

[Melanie Downes @melanied71]

@domdyer70 @Keir_Starmer Not exactly difficult to find any animal to rescue. Highly likely there is a Siberian kitten in a shelter right now waiting to be adopted!!! 🤬🤬🤬
