      over the back fence just cant harm them.

      I used to have two pet ones's when I was a kid they used to escape from a huge pickle jar kept on the kitchen windowsill, I collected them from my Aunts garden who lived on the Wirral as we didnt have any with shells on where we lived I dont know why that was.
      They survived in my pocket, a train and bus journey , and occasionally my mum would find them on the ceiling in the kitchen I have now recently found out my elder brother used to take the lid off just before he went to bed !!!!

              We don't have a problem with snails and slugs, probably because of the hedgehogs that live under the decking. Caterpillars however are another story......

                Hi

                Yes I think I might come along. Will see if my friend can make it too. Would that be ok?
