Wallabies? Britain has wallabies? Like, as in escaped, settled in beautiful scenic Devon, and raiding your garden wallabies? Your'e $#!++!n' me.
Google comes up with "wild wallabies in England" (and Scotland) as a default search. First two hits were for the Daily Mail, but I'd rather have a plausible news source.
Tell us something.: I'm a fiddler and, latterly, a fluter. I love the flute. I wish I'd always played it. I love the whistle as well. I'm blessed in having really lovely instruments for all of my musical interests.

I can remember clearly, when I was about 5, going up to see my father's side of the family in Buxton, and I suddenly and excitingly jumped up in the car and yelled "Kangaroo!" Nobody believed me. This was about 1962. I've been gratified since to find myself vindicated. (OK, it was a wallaby rather than a kangaroo, but for a 5 year old, it's not a huge lot different.)

A spokesman for Tiggywinkles said:..."They get in silly places, so we'll just get out there and rescue them."
"Silly". This from someone who works for "Tiggywinkles".
Right?
Saint Tiggywinkles is not that far from where I live. They do a lot of rescue work. They don't cater for visitors, though.
For that, you would have to go to the Prickly Ball. After a visit there I know a lot more about hedgehogs than I did.

What? You mean like Curry Rivel (one of my favourites)? Or, another real favourite, Wyre Piddle. Now that is a classic. Not far from where I live, in fact. Quite near to Trumpet and Pixlie.
