This is what I found in my laundry basket today...
And this is what DS trod on when he went out after dark to shut up the chickens
and this is who is living under the roof of the chicken house...

(A bit too) Up to Close and Personal
Never let it be said that life in Southwest France is dull (although it often is!)

You've been here too long, your turning into Bill Oddie. Debs x
Debs - Omigod, could these hairs be the start of a beard! VLiF
WTF is the first one. I am feeling intense fear. It looks like a giant flaccid worm. Eeeeeh. The hedgehog is nice though and have you read David Sedaris's latest? He gives all his house spiders names and catches flies for them. So at least you haven't reached that point yet.
I don't like spiders and snakes, that it what it takes as the song by Jim Stafford went, lol...glad that wasn't my laundry basket, my path to the hen house or my henhouse for that matter, lol...brave girl you!

Jaywalker - It's a small couleuvre. You should see the bu**er that lived under my roof tiles for 5 months last year! Did I mention I've called the spider Charlotte? VLiF
Sandi - I'm not at all brave when it comes to snakes. In fact I'm surprised you didn't hear me screaming when DS threw it at me! DD on the other hand loves the little suckers. I have a photo of her aged 4 with a huuuuuuge snake draped round her shoulders. VLiF
VLiF WTF is a small couleuvre? Is there an English translation for it? Your daughter's a brave girl, holding that yucky thing, she must be getting used to country living, blogthatmamax
Bleeuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrggggggghhhhhhhhh!
I hate all things creeply crawly and horrible!
Well if you start trapping flies to place tenderly in her web let us know and we can stage an intervention. His was called April. The couleuvre is horrible. My eldest had a snake party for his fourth birthday (yes I was that demented competitive party mummy), it was, um, intense.
blogthatmama - it's actually a young western whip snake which are very common in these 'ere parts. DD, bizarrely, loves snakes. DS and I just scream. VLiF
GTAF - I'm with you there! VLiF
Jaywalker - me too! VLiF
