Since I was last in the land of blogdom various things have happened. Hannah started a temporary post at a local Primary School, for one term, this was extended to two terms, and has been extended to three terms. It is at this time of year that she starts to wonder if there will be a permanent post going for her next year. This basically all depends on if any teachers are leaving, or if there is funding available.
She had her teacher observation today (something that all first year teachers have to have each term) and this has gone very well, but the best news is that her head called her into her study a couple of days ago and informed her that a permanent post was available for her next year.
On a completely different tack, we received a phone call from her today to say that she would be calling round with a surprise. When Dot asked was it living she said "Yes!" We had visions of yet another dog....
Imagine our surprise when she arrived with a young hedgehog which had been found on the school playing fields.
Having looked after hedgehogs for a local First Schools caretakers wife, who ran a hedgehog hospital, she is something of an expert on them! She also arrived at our house with two sachets of cat food - (their staple diet when in captivity) and fed it one before taking it up into the fields at the rear of our house, where we have released dozens of them in our time!
Ruby was extremely interested in the little creature, and had to get in on the act.
Ben and Hannah took Ruby with them when they released the little hedgehog, and Ruby obviously didn't want to leave the little creature, and kept going back up to the hollow tree to keep an eye on it!!
On the weather front, snow has fallen in Scotland and the forecast is for snow in Northern England tomorrow.The temperature is due to fall to freezing overnight and the local gritting wagon was out just after tea. Our English weather is incredible. This time last week we were basking in temperatures of 23.5 degrees!
