New recruits

The wet weather has made the guinea-pig eglu a haven for snails and slugs. I don't mind the snails so much as I can recruit them (this year's colour is orange), but putting a hand on a slug in the dark when you're trying to pat a guinea pig is quite nasty.

The big snail coming right at us is a new recruit - I'm quite pleased at this recruitment because he an old fella. The two in the middle were recruited earlier this year and the one on the right is also a new recruit. You can see Whisky skulking off in the background.

You'll be pleased to know that I alighted at the right stop for work this morning and didn't have to consult the link to the St Alban's tourist board.
