I’m hoping 3 cube will be enough for the winter, but who knows…

The first time I saw two yards dumped on my drive I decided the log burner was for special occasions only.

Right now, leaving Winchester, what a dump.

Loud feminine scream from the pool
I poke my head out to have a look.
There's a snake in the pool!
Ok, it's about 6-8" long, but, definitely a snake.
Guess we'll be moving soon then!
Anyone want a nice, isolated, converted French barn

Hmmm...with the 'snake infestation discount' I might take it off your hands.

I've got a four foot Royal Python you can borrow to scare off the smaller snake.

I bet that's what you tell all the girls.

Who's stupid idea was it to have 80m2 of decking?

We had similar.

She: "There's a snake in the house!"
Me: "Where?"
She: "Over there!"
Me: "Looks like a worm". <Fetches glasses>. "Oh yeah it's a snake".

I've seen decent size ones in the countryside but they seem to leave our house and garden well enough alone, and we don't have a pol for them to fall in.

We had a snake in the house a while ago, only a little one. We think it arrived in the trouser turn-ups of a gardener/landscaper that we'd got round to quote for some work! (Baby adder I think). Saw another outside the kitchen door recently. Best thing though is we have 'slowies' They are absolutely

(Chlorine in a pool is for snakes but some do seem to like ponds and kids paddling pools ).

'So if you could just pop the plant pot onto the decking'
She said casually.
'so it's not staying in the garden then?' I ask, imploringly. There's 160l of compost and whatever was on the tree roots in there!

Snake discount? That runs at about 95% IIRC.

However the wildlife premium is about 100%, so swings and roundabouts Rodney, swings and roundabouts.

Sitting in our slightly leaky conservatory watching nature put on a great light and sound display.
