We have not been quiet as we have had people come and go the 4 Daves dropped in for 2 nights seperated by a night away at the Millau bridge proof that bikers never die they just ride stranger bikes and go a little slower...
Coops and Al made their second appearance in two years they noticed the difference immediately well you would when there was litterately nothing here except us, they slept on lillo's and ate off a plastic table last June, this time around they were amaized at the work we had managed to do is a short time. We are expecting them back again tonight ;)
We had a lone biker from Exeter "Colin" drop in on us one wet day looking for a place to park and dry out.
We have had a reptillian few days now the sune is out and it is nesting/breeding time...
Wendy spotted a snake basking in the sun out by the barn I was amaized to discover it was an ASP Viper very clearly marked and nesting in the garden - well you don't really want a couple or three of those laying around as their bite is fairly poisionous and very painfull. Plus we have Ryan out in a couple of weeks and Mellisa who is pregnant so I just had to get rid, glad I did as it had two eggs it was preparing to lay...
Even after I had exterminated it it continued to bite anything in its proximity for at least 5 mins after I had removed the head from the body...
I have now set about removing any likely places anymore would be tempted to make their nests so any mound with rubble is being excavated and leveled...
Of course there are the more friendly reptiles around the house to be seen scurrying arouns the place.
