I found a Hoggle Truffle today whilst clearing an over grown area of a customers garden ❤️.

I've build the Hoggle Truffle a new place to live not far from the area I was clearing 😎.

If your clearing back your garden or cutting your hedge then give the area an inspection before bringing out the cutting equipment 😎.
