It's been a good, productive day working out in the courtyard. I live for these long bouts of carving, alone with my thoughts .......
Well not completely alone.
As I bent down to pick up a few scraps of wood ...... hey that's not wood!

With my husband away I had to do the manly thing and manoeuvre the snake into a cooler box, slam down the lid and cart him off to the river before Bella the Foxy did him some harm. It was a good feeling watching him glide effortlessly through the fallen leaves .... poetry in motion.
27 th September: The snake has since been identified as an Olive House Snake. Not venomous at all and according to the snake expert .... a lovely little snake.
