Rescues have had lots of calls for desperately thirsty hedgehogs that have woken up with this warm weather. Please put big dishes of fresh water out for them. When they come out of the long sleep they need to drink loads. It is way more important than food.
Don’t miss this exhibition - there are baskets (including some of mine!), textiles, ceramics and sculpture as well as a huge selection of beautiful artwork, and all in the magnificent setting of @ushawcollege
Two of our #CountyDurham based members currently have #baskets on display in the Ushaw Presents At Christmas exhibition at @ushawcollege near #Durham. It’s open Wednesdays to Saturdays until 15th December, admission £5, and the Ushaw Cafe is excellent!
