I never thought seeing a snail in my garden would make me smile, but this stripey number on my hosepipe yesterday did just that. Guess what happened next...Musing on gardening and life in the heart of rural Wiltshire. Well, erm Chippenham actually...

Hi, let's start a conversation - right here, right now! If you have a question, I'll also endeavour to get back to you over at your place.

My general policy re comments
I value genuine commenters for the conversation they bring. Those aiming to link back and give credence to commercial websites (thankfully rare) will be removed.
Blog posts are kept open for your Comments for as long as possible - for at least 3 months. I've reluctantly taken the decision if a post comes in for a sp@m attack after that time, I'll remove its Comments facility. I've found genuine comments are rarely left after 3 months, but dozens of sp@m comments are :( Removing these takes away the joy that a genuine comment might be left one day.
The hosepipe coiled up?
ReplyDeleteYou took its photo?
ReplyDeleteAnd, yes, of course you may mention my impression of your blog name! :)

That is the cutest thing I have seen all day :)
ReplyDeleteI hope you didn't step on it!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely collection of stripes
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful looking shell!
ReplyDeleteI fear that a hungary bird saw it and...
Have a good weekend. xx
Go on...what happened?
ReplyDeleteIt whipped out a banjo and played "Kentucky Rose".
ReplyDeleteHi everyone - I enjoyed your guesses. Starnitesky wins the prize - I did step on it. In bare feet. Yeuch!
ReplyDeleteOh no. I hope it didn't go crunch! x
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful photo! I'm a bit schizophrenic with snails. If they're inside their shells, they have a merciless death. But my little nephew calls them 'horns' and I then feel guilty if I kill them when they are moving about as my nephew likes them so much.
ReplyDeleteUuugh - unpleasant both for both you and the snail but especially for the poor snail !
ReplyDeleteTIMP - yes it did :(
ReplyDeleteHM - normally I have no hesitation to get rid of them, but I did feel guilty with this one
Anna - yep!
