That's it! That's brought back a few memories!

When I was there watching them in that quantity I couldn't help but think of the film Raiders of the Lost Ark, when the flaming torches go out and they get trapped in the tomb... Not for me, I'm a real wuss with snakes!

I've never seen a snake of any kind in the wild - I'm pleased to say ! . A.F.A.I.K we don't have any around here , neither grass snakes nor adders . The nearest that I've ever been was when I was at the Remount depot in Melton Mowbray . A couple of us would skive off for the day to the bottom of "The Long Gallop " with a mess tin, a pat of butter and a loaf , scrounged from the cookhouse .We then spent the day picking blue point mushrooms , frying them in butter, on toast ! Lazy days .! (y) There was a stream there and there were many shed, moulted snake skins , but I never even saw a live snake there .

Do you walk with a heavy foot if you walk down a stream you won’t see anything if you sneak along like when I’m trout fishing I see them reckon they feel you coming in the ground
