Watching my little girl make friends with a big snail she called Billie then changed it to Milly. Making it a home on one of my dinner plates wiith leaves and stones and a tiny snail bath / plastic lid. Putting it in the shade cos I said they don't like sun. Picking it up and taking it on an adventure because I said maybe that was why it kept trying to get off the plate. Eventually I came out to find her crying real tears because she had let it go and was watching it snailing away from the home she had made it...

Then the neighbour came out and started putting down slug pellets just a few feet away from where we were, talking to her husband about it - so glad my little girl didn't hear or understand. Why do people have to grow up. They are so much better when they are 6.
