While you were out!
Just going over the threshold last summer. This visitor is totally harmless, but imagine him slithering over your slippers when you're watching tv in a darkened room! How high would you jump?

One day last summer I let my dog and myself into my parents' garden as I usually do when I visit, turned the corner and froze !!!!!!!
There under Jasper's feet was one of these sunning itself on the path between me and the back door. I leapt back to the gate , called the dog ......... and knocked on the front door.
Paul was fascinated by their visitor and was disappointed that it wasn't a viper.
It was mid-winter before I could bring myself to arrive at the back door again.

I would probably have a heart attack, I am petrified of snakes.

I love to find snakes in my garden, they keep the mice away. Living in an old farmhouse with stone foundation, it's hard to keep the little rodents out. So every snake near the house is a friend of mine.

I have a bamboo grove which I leave 'untamed' except for the winding path through it (some photos elsewhere) and I know there are a lot of mice holes in it. I've even been startled to see the occasional barn owl fly through it above the path. So the area and inhabitants are well known!
