Default Snails in the Water Butt. (Part Two)

So, following the postings and advice and noting that I didn't want to rot
and smell as someone said I would, I set to this morning, emptied the butt
and washed it out.

All sweet smelling now

AND

half full again!!!!

Well it's blowing like mad here and Cunard's Queen Victoria sailed tonight
from Southampton. Glad I'm not on her, she is a dreadful seaboat in anything
more than a rough cup of tea :-((
