Mollusc update

To all that don't know, Ed has a collection of pet garden snails

He has 8 now Patch, Austin, Spot, Mog, Chocolate, Sprinkles Rory and King Stripe. This aft I'm cleaning out the snail house and...

...they've had eggs!!!!

Eeek, 8 is enough, I didn't realise I was looking after them so well.

I've emptied the eggs to the compost bin. At least they can do some good for the garden helping to make compost.

Ed says he'll let them go on his birthday. We're going to have a little ceremony and free them to the compost bin. Then whenever he sees a snail he might think 'oh that's Austin
