Goodmorning everyone, hope everyone is staying safe and sane ???
For the last couple months I have had these snails mostly on the garage door but also on the house, screens and cactus.
I figure they are attracted too the morning dew.
Never noticed them before.

Good evenooning all.

We have been enjoying a few days of decent weather. It all goes downhill on Sunday, so we will enjoy it while we can.

This morning was chores day. Daughter and I cleaned the house while Son and JoesDad shifted a ton of dirt into a skip... the debris from creating the pond.

This afternoon our road had a “Not A Street Party” for VE Day. We have to social distance, so the idea was that we all had an afternoon picnic in our front gardens where we could chat with our neighbours.

Our house is set back from the road and we shae a driveway with the houses either side, we have about 2 square yards of front garden, so we set up a picnic table and chairs on the drive so we were nearer the road and our neighbours used their lawns.

Everyone decorated the front of their property with flags (I printed mine from an image on he internet :D)

I baked scones and we ate those with a glass of white wine. It was really good to be able to chat with our neighbours in the afternoon sunshine. I think it did everyone a power of good to talk to different people :)

What really made my day was hearing a cuckoo calling. We have lived in this house since 1999 and I have never heard one here before. It has definitely been a day to remember :)
