    In the words of Victor Meldrew 'I just don't beleive it'!

    For some reason i am finding slugs not IN the garden, not even ON my property :confused: but all along the pathway leading up to end of the grove path.

    Don't they like our little haven? It's all most strange, don't know what to make of it but i'm not complaining :D

    Maybe they are going south for the winter?

    Actually, I find more slugs on my paths at this time of year than in summer. Don't know why. Maybe the plants aren't so delicious in Autumn. :confused:

    HB. Do I have to buy stilletos at my time of life? Mind you they would look great with my fishnets.

    Paula I seem to have a lack of slugs at the moment can't even find them on the paths and walkways although I'm not complaining you understand!

    Oh dear I'll have nightmares now John just imagining you wearing high heels and fishnets although to be honest I would scream with laughter if I saw it! :D
