Good morning everyone!
Yesterday I was in the garden trying to cut up the branches of one of our trees. It had been struck by lightning the day before. The result? A lot of branches everywhere and a very heavy split trunk, which has now been dealt with. As I was hacking yesterday (and feeling bad about chopping a tree that I considered to be in its prime) I came across a little Cyril Wannabe – let’s call him Cedric. 
He was rather cute and I couldn’t resist sharing a few photographs with you!
Yes, I look rough-as! In my defence, I was working hard in the garden and I’d had a 5am start, with only a few hours sleep before!
Think he may also have given me some inspiration for some new skits too…
Happy Monday!

He looks quite similar to the one I found this morning (posted on fb)
I guess it wasn’t Cyril after all… just a wannabe

Lol! That is so funny!
I love snails so, so much! Seriously. I think they are such intriguing, curious and graceful little creatures! 
We should create a gallery!

awesome! but not about the poor tree. You know a few weeks back the terrible weather took down most of one of my trees and quite a bit of the other one in the front yard. I hated to see the beautiful formed pear trees destroyed like that.

Yes, I remember your post about that. It’s totally overwhelming how ferocious and unforgiving nature can be, it really is!

Are you going to put a hundred or so of these together in a book? They are quite worthy of one.

Pictures of live snails? I think that sounds like a fun idea – quite tempted to set a challenge for any interested readers/viewers to see if people can send in pics of the snails they see on their travels.

That is a Cyril doppelgänger if ever there was one.
