Long story really, but the short version would be: I was walking out on the ‘meadow’, a flatish bit of land below where our house is giong to be when I stopped, and glanced down. I saw something on the ground and the first thing that crossed my mind was.. ‘cool, a snake has shed it’s skin there’. When my eyes wandered along the skin I realised that.. ‘oh oh, the snake is still at home’ when I saw thew head and tongue still flickering. Step back slowly and make no sudden moves!
