Out here on the North Sea we're facing the outbreak of a hedgehog arterivirus. Thankfully, the farmers wife thinks all our local hedgehogs are disease free. She's not seen any at all this week and takes this as proof that they're healthy and must be settling down to sleep their way through winter.
The University Music Centre has a wonderful Victorian TC Lewis organ that has been restored and which makes a remarkable sound. Despite the early hour the place is full of youngsters and university staff attentively waiting for the organist from Edinburgh to start.

Largest immigrant category by US state. The Scots don't get a mention. Guess we're down as a subset of the English :

I've been noting the incredible berry production of trees and shrubs this year, too. Quite glorious to see, but if the old adage holds true, we're in for a bad one. I have noted that the old adages are starting to lose their weight, however... I guess as the climate changes, so must the adage! YAM xx
The berries are beautiful, even if they are an ominous sign. I found the immigrant map very interesting, although lumping the Scots in with the English loses a lot of nuance. New Jersey looks about right, with the little dot of Germans from which my family came, although I can't understand why all the Puerto Ricans are in the south of the state, and I wonder where the Cubans are.
I hope the Farmer’s wife is correct and your hedgehogs are free from viruses. The black walnut trees in our yard have produced an abundance of fruits and the local squirrels have been very busy.
Thank you for the link to the very interesting article on the Faroe Islands...
