I have just been labelled a āvandalā. All because I wanted to sit on the coaster. The fact that the vase was already occupying the coaster is neither here nor there. It was in my way. š¢š¤Ø

If you have a garden, thereās lots you can do to encourage and support wild hogs, as Julia explains. You can also help prevent injuries by making your garden hedgehog-safe, and taking care when using garden equipment!. #Nipfest2025 #TortTalk3. (22/25)
