We had a grass snake in the garden, but only once. I knew there was something different in the border cos the sparrows were setting off a-squabbling around where it was. It was very pretty. I envy you your snakey thing hamsterqueen, do try and overcome your phobia, they're fascinating things.
I ran out to get a photo, then realised I'd got no shoes on! Nipped back inside to be sensible, by which time the snake had started to retreat so I didn't get a great shot.
