My new pet!


I opened the kitchen blind one morning recently to find this snail halfway down the window (outside thankfully!) Yuck. Given that I live in a first floor flat, that is some adventure he is having. I put his picture on our community Whats App group, asking if anyone had lost their pet snail. It occasioned a series of hilarious replies, including two short and very clever poems... but no-one claimed it. So I guess it's mine to keep - except that it had disappeared by the time I got home from my day out, leaving only a smeary trail of goo. The next question is whether the window cleaners will ever clean that off! They only spray the windows from the ground, which never seems terribly effective at the best of times.

  1. Well, for a short stay of a pet, you didn't even get to name him/her!

  2. He has a very cute underbelly, can't really see his face! I was out walking and saw lots of snails, and it made me wonder where do snails go in the winter.... keeping in mind I live in Canada and the winters can be pretty cold.
