Shelter from the Storm

I put a couple of milk bottles out first thing and noticed this snail climbing up a brick pillar. The heavy rain didn’t bother it. Later in the day I noticed it again, this time immobile and tucked into its shell. Carrying your home around with you has its advantages.

I was meant to be travelling to a meeting this morning, but a message yesterday changed all that, it was a meeting on MSTeams. It hasn’t been a day for travelling to areas at risk of flooding. Like the snail, I’ve hunkered down.
