Slugs, Snails and Puppy Dog Tails...

... well slugs, snails(still), worms and slaters anyway!

Esmé's interest in all things 'creepy crawly' simply grows and grows. Not content with just two racing snails ~ normally named George and Molly, Esmé has decided that a careful study of the creatures in the garden should take place at every possible opportunity.

Her sand bucket doubles as a collecting pot, for the beasties she finds under her rocks and stones in the garden. She takes great delight in finding the largest slugs and biggest families of slaters.

To aid her in her investigations we bought her a 'Bugscope'. She is now able to examine her captive creatures until her heart's content! And of course it is a very valuable learning experience ;-)



Oscar was a little put out that both Ivory and Cola had made their débuts on the blog, but that he was yet to be seen. He made sure he was in the picture this time!!!!!
