We were moving a heap of logs yesterday and Edward mentioned to me
that he had seen snakes around the pile and to be careful - I was off
to put rubber boots on as there is no way I was going to have my
ankles bitten - I hate snakes!!!

When *I* was an anklebiter I had a pet adder...

A pet *adder*? Wow! When I was a nipper I had a pet grass snake.....

I remember Dad hammering in tent pegs in South Wales when we were on holiday
and scammpering off on his hands and kness hammering at the ground. We all
laughed until he held up a dead adder. They're venomous no?
