Quite revolting, though I dare say we would make a pretty stomach turning mess if stepped on by something/someone big enough.<br />They just have no redeeming features that I can see.Ray Barneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09209429097744326143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7948117492116997244.post-81591925727694985522011-10-14T22:07:45.884+01:002011-10-14T22:07:45.884+01:00Slugs I can cope with - but snails ...ew, they are...Slugs I can cope with - but snails ...ew, they are just hideous!!

And, from a philosophical standpoint, I enjoy seeing everything that's out there in the garden. But practically speaking, sometimes one wants to give the creatures time to settle back into more obscure locations.Penelopepiscopalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14110169815273159849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7948117492116997244.post-51187352196552135002011-10-13T21:24:55.415+01:002011-10-13T21:24:55.415+01:00Oh do I detect a fellow wimp Freda.
